Multiple Choice Questions :
Que-1: Which of the following values are equal ?
I. 1^5 II. 5^0 III. 0^5 IV. 5^1
(a) I and II (ii) II and III (iii) I and III (iv) I and IV
Solution- (a) I and II
Reason :I 1^5 = 1
II: 5^0 = 1
III: 0^5 = 0
IV: 5^1 = 5
Hence, 1^5 = 5^0 = 1
Que-2: If 5^x = 3125, then the value of 5^(x-3) is
(a) 25 (b) 125 (c) 625 (d) 1625
Solution- (a) 25
Reason : 5^x = 3125
5^x = 5^5
x = 5.
Therefore 5^(x – 3) = 5^(5 – 3) = 5^2 = 25.
Que-3: The value of (256)^5/4 is
(a) 512 (b) 984 (c) 1024 (d) 1032
Solution- (c) 1024
Reason : (256)^5/4 = (4^4)^5/4
= 4^(4×5/4)
= 4^5 = 1024.
Que-4: The value of (27)^5/4 lies between
(a) 0 and 1 (b) 1 and 2 (c) 2 and 3 (d) 3 and 4
Solution- (a) 0 and 1.
Reason :
Que-5: The value of (32/243)^-4/5 is
(a) 4/9 (b) 9/4 (c) 16/81 (d) 81/16
Solution- (d) 81/16
Reason : (32/243)^-4/5 = [1/(32/243)^4/5]
Consider (32/243)^4/5
[(2^5)^4/5]/[(3^5)^4/5] = 16/81
Therefore,
(32/243)^-4/5 = 1/(16/81)
(32/243)^-4/5 = 81/16.
Que-6: The value of [2-3(2-3)^-1]^-1 is
(a) 5 (b) -5 (c) 1/5 (d) -1/5
Solution- (c) 1/5
Reason : = [2 – 3(2 – 3)^-1]^-1
= {2 – [3/(-1)]}^-1
= (2 + 3)^-1
= (5)^-1
= 1/5.
Que-7: The value of (8^-1 – 9^-1) ÷ (4^-1 – 9^-1)^-1 is
(a) 5 (b) 10 (c) 14 (d) 25
Solution- (b) 10
Reason : (8^-1 – 9^-1)^-1 ÷ (4^-1 – 9^-1)^-1
= (1/8 – 1/9)^-1 ÷ (1/4 – 1/9)^-1
= (1/72)^-1 ÷ (5/36)^-1
= 72 ÷ 36/5
= 72 × 5/36 = 10.
Que-8: (64)^-1/2 – (-32)^-4/5 = ?
(a) 1/8 (b) 3/8 (c) 1/16 (d) 3/16
Solution- (c) 1/16
Reason : (64)^-1/2 – (32)^-4/5
= (8)2 × -1/2 – (2)5 × -4/5
= 8-1 – 2-4
= (1/8) – (1/16)
= 1/16.
Que-9: Which of the following is the same as (-5/7)^-7 ?
(a) (5/7)^-7 (b) -(5/7)^-7 (c) (7/5)^7 (d) (-7/5)^7
Solution- (d) (-7/5)^7
Reason : (-5/7)^-7 = 1/(-5/7)^7
= (-7/5)^7.
Que-10: If 3^(x+y) = 81 and 81^(x-y) = 3^8, then the values of x and y are respectively
(a) -1,-3 (b) -1,3 (c) 1,3 (d) 3,1
Solution- (d) 3,1
Reason : x + y = 4 ………….(1)
Given : 81^(x-y) = 3^8
= (3^4)^x-y = 3^8
= 3^4(x-y) = 3^8
= 4(x-y) = 8
= x-y = 8/4
x-y = 2 ……….(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2), we get :
= (x+y) + (x-y) = 4+2
= x + x + y – y = 6
= 2x = 6
= x = 3
Substituting x = 3 in equation (1), we get :
= 3 + y = 4
= y = 4 – 3
= y =1.
x = 3, y =1.
Que-11: Out of the following, which one is greatest ?
(a) (0.008)^1/3 (b) (0.01)^1/2 (c) (0.2)^2 (d) 1/100
Solution- (d) 1/100
Reason :
Que-12: (1000)^12 ÷ (10)^30 = ?
(a) (1000)^2 (b) 10 (c) 100 (d) (100)^2
Solution- (a) (1000)^2
Reason : (1000)^12 ÷ (10)^30
= (10^3)^12 ÷ (10)^30
= (10)^(3×12) ÷ (10)^30
= (10)^36 ÷ (10)^30
= (10)^(36−30)
= 10^6
= (10^3)^2 = (1000)^2.
Que-13: If (0.4)^2 ÷ (0.008) x (0.2)^6 = (0.2)^x, then the value of x is
(a) 5 (b) 6 (c) 8 (d) 7
Solution- (d) 7
Reason :Let (0.04)^2 ÷ (0.008) × (0.2)^6 = (0.2)^x
Then, (0.2)^x = [(0.2)^2]^2 ÷ (0.2)^3 × (0.2)^6
= (0.2)^x = (0.2)^(2×2) ÷ (0.2)^3 × (0.2)^6
= (0.2)^x = (0.2)^4 ÷ (0.2)^3 × (0.2)^6
= (0.2)^x = (0.2)^(4−3+6)
= (0.2)^x = (0.2)^7
= x = 7.
Que-14: If (25)^7.5 x (5)^2.5 ÷ (125)^1.5 = 5^x, then the value of x is
(a) 8.5 (b) 13 (c) 16 (d) 17.5
Solution- (b) 13
Reason :Then, [(5^2)^7.5 x 5^2.5]/(5^3)^1.5 = 5^x
= [(5^2)^7.5 x 5^2.5]/ (5)^(3 x 1.5) = 5^x
= (5^15 x 5^2.5)/5^4.5 = 5^x
= 5^x = 5^(15 + 2.5 – 4.5)
= 5^x = 5^13
x = 13.
Que-15: If 2^(x+1) = 8^x, then x has the value
(a) -1/3 (b) 1/2 (c) 1 (d) 3
Solution- (b) 1/2
Reason :Given, 2^(x+1) = 8^x
2^(x+1) = (2^3)^x
= 2^(x+1) = 2^3x
Since bases are equal, their powers must also be equal.
= x+1 = 3x
= 2x = 1
= x = 1/2.
Que-16: Given that 9^n + 9^n = 3^2013, what is the value of n ?
(a) 1005 (b) 1006 (c) 2011 (d) 6019
Solution- (b) 1006
Reason : 2⋅9^n = 3^2013
We know that 9 = 3^2, so we can rewrite 2⋅9^n as 2⋅(3^2)^n which simplifies to 2⋅3^2n
So, the equation becomes:
2⋅3^2n = 3^2013
Now, we can compare the exponents:
2n = 2013
To solve for n, divide both sides by 2:
n = 2013/2
So, n = 1006.5
Que-17: If 3^(x-1) + 3^(x+1) = 90, then x is equal to
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 3
Solution- (d) 3
Reason : 3^(x-1) + 3^(x+1) = 90 , [ taking 3^x common ]
= (⅓ + 3) • 3^x = 90 ,
= 10/3 • 3^x = 90 ,
= 3^x = 90 • 3/10 = 270/10 = 27 ,
= 3^x = 3³
= x = 3.
Que-18: If (x/y)^(n-1) = (y/x)^(n-3) then the value of n is
(a) 1/2 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 7/2
Solution- (c) 2
Reason : (x/y)^n-1 = (y/x)^n-3
(x/y)^n-1 {(x/y)^-1}^n-3
(x/y)^n-1 = (x/y)^-(n-3)
n-1 = -(n-3)
n-1 = -n+3
2n = 1+3
2n = 4
n = 2.
Que-19: If (25)^x = (125)^y, then x:y equals
(a) 1:1 (b) 1:3 (c) 2:3 (d) 3:2
Solution- (d) 3:2
Reason : (5^2)^x = (5^3)^y
This simplifies to:
5^2x = 5^3y
For these expressions to be equal, their exponents must be equal. So:
2x = 3y
We want the ratio x:y, so we can rearrange the equation to solve for x/y:
x/y = 3/2
So, x:y = 3:2.
Que-20: The simplified value of
[(2.3)^(n+1) + (7.3)^(n-1)]/[3^(n+2) – 2(1/3)^(1-n)] is
(a) -1 (b) 0 (c) 1 (d) 3
Solution- (c) 1
Reason : [2 x 3^n x 3^1 + 7 x 3^n x 3^-1]/[3^n + 2 – 2 x (3^-1)^1-n]
Taking 3^n as common factor we get
3^n(2 x 3 + 7 x 3^-1)/[3^n+2 – 2 x 3^n-1]
3^n(2 x 3 + 7 x 3^-1)/[3^n x 3^2 – 2 x 3^n x 3^-1]
3^n(2 x 3 + 7 x 3^-1)/[3^n(3^2 – 2 x 3^-1)]
(6 + 7/3)/(9 – 2/3)
(25/3) / (25/3)
= 1.
