Solution
Given : `2^(m+n)/2^(n-m) = 16`
\[\frac{3^p}{3^n} = 81\] and and `a-2^(1/10)`
To find : `(a^(2m+n-p))/((a^(m-2n+2p))^-1)`
Find : `2^(m+n)/2^(n-m) = 16`
By using rational components `a^m/a^n = a^(m-n)`We get
`2^(m+n-n+m) = 16`
`2^(m+n-n+m) = 16`
`2^(2m) = 2^4`
By equating rational exponents we get
`2m = 4`
`m = 4/2`
`m=2`
Now, `(a(2m+n-p))/((a^(m-2n+2p))^-1`
\[\left( a^{2m + n - p} \right) . \left( a^{m - 2n + 2p} \right)\] we get
\[= a^{2m + n - p + m - 2n + 2p} \]
\[ = a^{3m - n + p} \]
\[\text { Now putting value of a } = 2^\frac{1}{10}\text { we get,} \]
\[ = 2^\frac{3m - n + p}{10} \]
\[ = 2^\frac{6 - n + p}{10}\]
Also,
\[\frac{3^p}{3^n} = 81\]
\[3^{p - n} = 3^4 \]
On comparing LHS and RHS we get,p - n = 4.
Now,
`(a^(2m+n-p))/(a^(m-2n+2p))^-1`= a3m - n + p
\[= 2^\frac{6 + (p - n)}{10} \]
\[ = 2^\frac{6 + 4}{10} \]
\[ = 2^\frac{10}{10} = 2^1 \]
\[ = 2\]
So, option (a) is the correct answer.
