   The value of		-	1		- (2/3)
   			125

   
   

   =	1
   		-	1		- (2/3)
   			125

   
   

   	2
   = (- 125)	3

   
   

   Correct Option: B

   The value of		-	1		- (2/3)
   			125

   
   

   =	1
   		-	1		- (2/3)
   			125

   
   

   	2
   = (- 125)	3

   
   = [ ( - 125 )^1/3 ]² = [ (–5 × –5 × –5 )^1/3 ]²
   = (–5)² = – 5 × – 5 = 25

   ∵ 10^2/5 × 10^8/5 = 10ⁿ
   ⇒ 10^{2/5 + 8/5} = 10ⁿ
   ⇒ 10^10/5 = 10ⁿ

   Correct Option: A

   ∵ 10^2/5 × 10^8/5 = 10ⁿ
   ⇒ 10^{2/5 + 8/5} = 10ⁿ
   ⇒ 10^10/5 = 10ⁿ ⇒ 10² = 10ⁿ ⇒ n = 2
   Hence, the value of n is 2.

   a-5

   
   

   =	a5	=	a5
   	a3 a4		a7

   
   

   =	1	=	1
   	a7 - 5		a2

   
   

   Therefore, positive exponential function of	a-3 a-4	will be	1
