Answer : B

Mark tick against the correct answer in each of the following:

1. (6-1– 8-1)-1 =?
(a) (-1/2) (b)-2 (c) (1/24) (d) 24
Solution:- (D) 24
We know that, = (6)-1= (1/6)1 … [∵ (a/b)^-n
= (b/a) n] = (8)^-1
= (1/8)¹ … [∵ (a/b)^-n
= (b/a) ⁿ] Now subtract,
= {(1/6) – (1/8)}^-1
= {(4-3)/24}^-1 … [LCM of 6 and 8 is 24]
= {1/24}^-1
= {24/1} = 24

2. (5^-1 × 3 ^-1)^-1
(a)(1/15) (b)(-1/15) (c) 15 (d)-15
Solution:- (c)15
We know that,
= (5)^-1= (1 /5)¹ … [∵ (a/b)^-n
= (b/a) ⁿ] = (3)^-1 
= (1/3)¹ … [∵ (a/b)^-n
= (b/a) ⁿ] Now multiply,
= {(1/5) × (1/3)}^-1 
= {(1×1)/ (5×3)}^-1
= {1/15}^-1
= {15/1}
= 15

3. (2^-1 – 4^-1)² (a) 4 (b)-4 (c) (1/16) (d) (-1/16)
Solution:- (c) (1/16)
We know that, = (2)^-1
= (1/2)¹ … [∵ (a/b)^-n
= (b/a) ⁿ]
= (4)^-1
= (1/4)1 … [∵ (a/b)^-n 
= (b/a) ⁿ]
Now subtract,
= {(1/2) – (1/4)} ²
= {(2-1)/4}² … [LCM of 2 and 4 is 4]
= {1/4}²
= {1²/4²}
= {1/16}

4. (1/2)^-2 + (1/3)^-2 + (1/4)^-2 =?
(a)(61/144) (b) 29 (c) (144/61) (d) none of these
Solution:- (b) 29
We know that,
= (1/2)^-2= (2/1)² … [∵ (a/b)^-n = (b/a) ⁿ]
= (1/3)^-2
= (3/1)² … [∵ (a/b)^-n = (b/a) ⁿ]
= (1/4)^-2 = (4/1)² … [∵ (a/b)^-n
= (b/a) ⁿ] Now add,
= (2)²+ (3)²+ (4)²
= 4 + 9 + 16
= 29

5.{6^-1+(3/2)^-1}^-1
(a)(2/3) (b)(5/6) (c)(6/5) (d) None of these
Solution:- (c)(6/5)
We know that, = (6)^-1
= (1/6) … [∵ (a/b)^-n
= (b/a) ⁿ]
= (3/2)^-1
= (2/3) … [∵ (a/b)^-n
= (b/a) ⁿ] Now add,
= {(1/6) + (2/3)^}-1
= {(1+4)/ 6}^-1 … [LCM of 6 and 3 is 6]
= {5/6}^-1
= {6/5}

6. (-1/2)^-6 =?
(a)-64 (b) 64 (c) (1/64) (d) (-1/64)
Solution:- (b) 64
We know that,
= (-1/2)^-6
= (-2/1)⁶ … [∵ (a/b)^-n= (b/a) ⁿ]
= (-2)⁶ = 64

7. {(3/4)^-1 – (1/4)^-1}^-1=?
(a)(3/8) (b)(-3/8) (c)(8/3) (d)(-8/3)
Solution:- (b)(-3/8) We know that,
= (3/4)^-1
= (4/3)¹ … [∵ (a/b)^-n = (b/a) ⁿ]
= (1/4)^-1
= (4/1)¹ … [∵ (a/b)^-n = (b/a) ⁿ]
Now subtract,
= {(4/3) – (4/1)} ^-1
= {(4-12)/3}^-1 … [LCM of 3 and 1 is 3]
= {-8/3}^-1 = {-3/8}

8. [{(-1/2)²}^-2]^-1=?
(a) (1/16) (b)16 (c)(-1/16) d)-16
Solution:- (a) [{(-1/2)²}^-2]^-1
= [{(-1²/2²)}^-2]^-1
= [{1/4}^-2]^-1
= [{4} ²]^-1
= [16]^-1
= [1/16]

9. (5/6)⁰ =?
(a) 5/6 (b) 0 (c)1 (d)none of these
Solution:- (c) (5/6)⁰
=1 By definition,
we have a⁰= 1 for every integer.

10. (2/3)^-5=?
(a)(32/243) (b)(243/32) (c)(-32/243) (d)(-243/32)
Solution:- (b) (2/3)^-5
= (3/2)⁵
= (3⁵/2⁵)
= (243/32)
