  2.     44
  3.     45
  4.     46
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 45
:
C

Given expression is
43×42×162=43×42×((4)2)2=43×42×44   ((am)n=amn)=432+4   (am×an=am+n)=45 


Question 42.


Simplify  (15)3(13)4(14)3. 


  1.     1213
  2.     1312
  3.     1116
  4.     1611
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1116
:
C

an=1an for a0
(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=1258164=4464=1116


Question 43.


The standard exponential form of 1,540,000,000 is 1.54×109.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     1116
  4.     1611
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

1,540,000,000=1.54×1000000000=1.54×109


Question 44.


Identify the base  in the given example:  53
Base: ___            
 


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

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. 


Question 45.


If 3676.48 can be written in expanded form as:
3×10a+b×102+7×10c+6×100+4×10d+e×102 .
Find the value of a+bcde.


__
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

3676.48 can be written in expanded form as:
3×103+6×102+7×101+6×100+4×101+8×102
 a=3,b=6,c=1,d=1,e=8a+bcde=3+61+18=1


Question 46.


If (2)m+1×25=42 the value of m is 


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

Given, (2)m+1×25=42
 (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.


Question 47.


The distance between Earth and Mars is 2.2253x108 kms. The distance between Mars and Saturn is 1.19666×109 kms. A spaceship starts from Earth and travels to Saturn via Mars. Find the total distance covered by the spaceship in metres. 


  1.     1.41919x1012 m
  2.     14191900000 m
  3.     1419190000000 m
  4.     1.41919x109 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1.41919x1012 m
:
A and C

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       


Question 48.


Express in usual form: 5.06x104


__

Answer: Option A. -> 1.41919x1012 m
:

5.06×104=5.0610000=0.000506


Question 49.


Simplify (25÷28)5 × 25.


  1.     1210
  2.     1220
  3.     12(15)
  4.     12(5)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1220
:
B

(25÷28)5×25=(2528)5×25
                            =(258)5×25   (aman=amn)
                            =(23)5×25
                            =215×25   ((am)n=amn)
                            =2155   (am×an=am+n)
                            =220
                            =1220  (am=1am)


Question 50.


42+41+40+42 = ___


  1.     27716
  2.     27718
  3.     25716
  4.     27118
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 27716
:
A

Note that a0=1 for any non-zero integer a.
Also, for integers a (0) and m,
am=1am.
42=142=116 and 41=141
 42+41+40+42=116+14+1+16
                                       =1+4+16+25616
                                       =27716
