Answer:
:
Formula: 1 Mark
Value of n: 1 Mark
Numerical value: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Given that,
(am)2n=a2m
a2mn=a2m [(am)n=amn]

Since bases are same, their exponents also should be equal.
2mn=2m
n=2m2m
n=1
As per question,
a=2 and m=4

On substituting the values, we get:
a2m=22×4
=28
=2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2
=256
Hence, the required value is 256.
