C
Given expression is
43×4−2×162=43×4−2×((4)2)2=43×4−2×44 (∵(am)n=amn)=43−2+4 (∵am×an=am+n)=45
:
C
∵a−n=1an for a≠0
⟹(15)−3=1(15)3=(51)3=53=125
Similarly, (13)−4=1(13)4=(31)4=34=81 and
(14)−3=1(14)3=(41)3=43=64
⟹(15)−3−(13)−4(14)−3=125−8164=4464=1116

The number written at the bottom is the base whereas the number at the superscript is known as the exponent. In the given example, 5 is the base and 3 is the exponent.

3676.48 can be written in expanded form as:
3×103+6×102+7×101+6×100+4×10−1+8×10−2.
a=3,b=6,c=1,d=−1,e=8a+b−c−d−e=3+6−1+1−8=1

Given, (2)m+1×25=4−2
⇒ (2)m+1×25=((2)2)−2
⇒ (2)m+1+5=(2)−4
Since the bases on both the sides are equal, therefore the exponents must also be equal. This means, m+1+5=−4, or m=−10.

The total distance travelled by the spaceship between Earth and Saturn = Distance between (Earth & Mars + Mars & Saturn)
2.2253x108 kms + 1.19666 x 109 kms
= 2.2253x108 kms + 11.9666 x 108 kms
=14.1919 x108 kms
= 1.41919x109×103 m
= 1.41919x 1012m=1419190000000 m

(25÷28)5×2−5=(2528)5×2−5
=(25−8)5×2−5 (∵aman=am−n)
=(2−3)5×2−5
=2−15×2−5 (∵(am)n=amn)
=2−15−5 (∵am×an=am+n)
=2−20
=1220 (∵a−m=1am)

A
Note that a0=1 for any non-zero integer a.
Also, for integers a (≠0) and m,
a−m=1am.
⟹4−2=142=116 and 4−1=141
∴4−2+4−1+40+42=116+14+1+16
=1+4+16+25616
=27716
