a-3 a-4 a-5 = a5 = a5 a3 a4 a7 = 1 = 1 a7 - 5 a2
Correct Option: D
a-3 a-4 a-5 = a5 = a5 a3 a4 a7 = 1 = 1 a7 - 5 a2 Therefore, positive exponential function of a-3 a-4 will be 1 a - 5 a2

∵ 102/5 × 108/5 = 10n
⇒ 102/5 + 8/5 = 10n
⇒ 1010/5 = 10nCorrect Option: A
∵ 102/5 × 108/5 = 10n
⇒ 102/5 + 8/5 = 10n
⇒ 1010/5 = 10n ⇒ 102 = 10n ⇒ n = 2
Hence, the value of n is 2.

( 8 ) - ( 2 - 2 ) =
- 1 8 4 = 1 1 8 4 = 1 1 ( 2 x 2 x 2) 4
Correct Option: B
( 8 ) - ( 2 - 2 ) =
- 1 8 4 = 1 1 8 4 = 1 1 ( 2 x 2 x 2) 4 = 1 3 2 4 - 3 = 2 4

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
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

The expression ( - 1 )132 is equivalent to: 5- 1 + 3- 1 = [( - 1 )2]66 5- 1 + 3- 1 = ( 1 )66 5- 1 + 3- 1 = 1 1 + 1 5 3 = 1 5 + 3 15
Correct Option: C
( - 1 )132 5- 1 + 3- 1 = [( - 1 )2]66 5- 1 + 3- 1 = ( 1 )66 5- 1 + 3- 1 = 1 1 + 1 5 3 = 1 5 + 3 15 = 1 8 15 = 15 8
