Question : 11
Which of the following numbers is not a factor of $5^p7^q$ (p ≠ 0, q ≠ 0)
a) 175
b) 735
c) 1225
d) 35
Answer »Answer:(b)
35 = 5 × 7
175 = 5 × 5 × 7
1225 = 5 × 5 × 7 × 7
735 = 5 × 7 × 7 × 3
Clearly, 735 is not a factor of $5^p7^q$
Question : 12
If $m^n$ = 169, what is the value of $(m+1)^(n - 1)$ ?
a) 13
b) 170
c) 196
d) 14
Answer »Answer:(d)
$m^n = 169 = 13^2$
m = 13, n = 2
$(m + 1)^{n - 1} = (13 + 1)^{2 - 1}$ = 14
Question : 13
If $27^{2x - 1} = (243)^3$ then the value of x is :
a) 6
b) 9
c) 7
d) 3
Answer »Answer:(d)
$27^{2x - 1} = (243)^3$
$(3^3)^{2x - 1} = (3^5)^3$
$(3)^{3{2x - 1}} = (3)^{5×3}$
3(2x - 1) = 5 × 3
or 2x - 1 = 5 ∴ x = 3
Question : 14 [SSC CGL Prelim 2000]
$(36)^{1/6}$ is equal to :
a) 6
b) $√^3{6}$
c) $√6$
d) 1
Answer »Answer:(b)
$(36)^{1/6}=(6^2)^{1/6}$
=$(6)^{2/6}=(6)^{1/3}=√^3{6}$
Question : 15 [SSC CHSL 2011]
If $2^x = 3^y = 6^{ - z}$ then $(1/x+1/y+1/z)$ is equal to
a) 1
b) - $1/2$
c) $3/2$
d) 0
Answer »Answer:(d)
$2^x = 3^y = 6^{ - z}$
$2^x = 3^y = 6^{ - z}=k$
$2=k^{1/x}; 3=k^{1/y}; 6=k^{-1/z}$
Since, 2×3=6
$k^{1/x}×k^{1/y}=k^{-1/z}$
$k^{1/x+1/y}=k^{-1/z}$
$1/x+1/y=-1/z⇒ 1/x+1/y+1/z=0$
