The sum of the powers of the prime factors in $108 \times 192$  is

  1. $5$

  2. $7$

  3. $8$

  4. $12$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\displaystyle 108=2\times 2\times  3\times 3\times 3=2^{2}\times 3^{3}$
$\displaystyle 192=2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times3$
$\displaystyle =2^{6}\times 3^{1}$
$\displaystyle 108 \times 192=2^{2}\times 3^{3}\times 2^{6}\times 3^{1}$
$\displaystyle =2^{8}\times 3^{4}$
Sum of the powers = 8 + 4 = 12

The value of $\displaystyle (243)^{\frac{-2}{5}}$ is---

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{9}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{2}{9}$

  3. 9

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\displaystyle (243)^{-2/5} =\displaystyle(3^5)^{-2/5}$
                $\displaystyle = 3^{-2} = \frac{1}{9}$

Find the value of $\displaystyle (64)^{-2/3}$---

  1. 16

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{16}$

  3. $\displaystyle -\frac{1}{16}$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\displaystyle (64)^{-2/3} = 4^3 \times 1^{-2/3} = 4^{-2}$
                 $\displaystyle = \frac{1}{4^2} = \frac{1}{16}$   

The value of $[(-3)^{(-2)}]^{(-3)}$ is---

  1. 243

  2. 27

  3. 729

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$[(-3)^{(-2)}]^{(-3)} = (-3)^6$
                           = 729

Charge of an electron is $0.00000000000000000016$ coulomb. This number can also be written in standard form as:

  1. $\displaystyle 1\cdot 6\times 10^{19}$

  2. $\displaystyle 1\cdot 6\times 10^{-20}$

  3. $\displaystyle 1\cdot 6\times 10^{-19}$

  4. $\displaystyle 1\cdot 6\times 10^{18}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$0.0000000000000000000016=\displaystyle \frac{16}{100000000000000000000}$


=$\displaystyle \frac{1\cdot 6\times 10^{1}}{10^{20}}$

=$\displaystyle 1\cdot 6\times 10^{-19}$

The value of $(3^0 - 2^1) \times 4^2$ is---

  1. -16

  2. 32

  3. 64

  4. 0


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$(3^0 - 2^1) \times 4^2 = (1-2) \times 16$
                                         $= -1 \times 16 = -16$

Simplify $\displaystyle (27)^{\frac{-2}{3}} \div \displaystyle (64)^{\frac{-2}{3}}$ is---

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{9}{16}$

  2. 16

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{16}{9}$

  4. 9


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\displaystyle \frac{(27)^{-2/3}}{ ( 64)^{-2/3}} = \frac{\displaystyle \frac{1}{9}}{ \displaystyle \frac{14}{16}} = \frac{16}{9}$

Size of a bacteria is $\displaystyle 1.5\times 10^{-7}m$. This number can also be written as:

  1. $0.00000015$

  2. $0.0000015$

  3. $0.000000015$

  4. $15000000$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$a\times 10^{-k} = \dfrac{a}{10^k}$

$\displaystyle 1.5 \times 10^{-7}= \dfrac{1.5}{10^7} = 0.00000015$
