Algebra Chapter 3 Concept of Index
Question 1. Choose the correct Answer
1. If we express the number 1234500000 in an index. form as power of 10 then we get
- 1234.5 x 106
- 12345 x 106
- 123.45 x 106
- 12.345 x 106
Solution:
Given number 1234500000
Now Count the Zero one in the number is ‘5’
we must be present in a form as the power of 10.
∴ 12345 x 105 = 1234.5x 106 (Power should not be Odd)
Option (1) 1234.5 x 106 is the correct answer.

2. The value of \(\frac{3^4 \times 3^{-5}}{3^{-6}}\) is
- 243
- 343
- 81
- 1/9
⇒ \(\frac{3^4 \times 3^{-5}}{3^{-6}}\) is
Solution:
∵ am x an = am+n
Here a = 3, m = 4, n =-5
⇒ \(\frac{3^{4+(-5)}}{3^{-6}}\)
⇒ \(\frac{3^{-1}}{3^{-6}}\)
⇒ \(3^{-1)-(-6)}\) ∵ \(\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}\)
Here, a = 3, m = -1, n = -6
⇒ \(3^{-1+6}\)
⇒ \(3^5\)
⇒ 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
⇒ 243
∴ \(\frac{3^4 \times 3^{-5}}{3^{-6}}\) = 243
Option 1 is 243 is the correct answer

3. The value of (a3 x b)2 x (a2 x b-3)3 is
- \(\frac{a^6}{b^7}\)
- \(a^6 \cdot b^7\)
- \(a^7 \cdot b^6\)
- \(\frac{a^7}{b^6}\)
Solution:
(a0 x b)2 x (a2 x b-3)3 ∵ a = 1
⇒ (1x b)2 x (a2 x b-3)3 ∵ (a x b)m = am x bm
⇒ (1)2 x (b)2 x (a2)3 x (b-3)3
In first bracket (1 x b)2
a = 1, b = b, m = 2
In the second bracket (a2 x b-3)3
∵ a = a2, b = b-3, m = 3
⇒ 1 x b2 x a2×3 x b-3×3
⇒ b2 x a6 x b-9
⇒ a6 x b2 x b-9
⇒ a6 × b2-9
⇒ a6 x b-7
Here, a = b,
m = 2
n = -9
⇒ a6 x \(\frac{1}{b^7}\)
⇒ \(\frac{a^6}{b^7}\)
Option 1 is correct
Question 2. Write true or false.
- 2 x 105 + 3 × 104 +4 × 103 + 5 × 102 + 6 × 10 + 7 = 765433
- The expression of 6x6x6x6x6 in terms of the index of a prime number is (25 x 35)
- The value of \(\frac{2^6 \times 8 \times 16}{2^{11} \times 2^2}\) is 1
Solution:
1. 2 x 105 + 3 × 104 + 4 x 103 + 5 × 102 +6 × 10 + 7= 765433
⇒ 200000+30000+4000 + 500+60 +7 = 765433
⇒ 234,567 = 765433
∴ 2 x 105 + 3 × 104 + 4 × 103 + 5 x 102 + 6 x 10 + 7 = 76.5433; False
2. 6 × 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 = (25 х 35)
⇒ 2×3×2×3×2×3×2×3×2×3 = 25 × 35
⇒ 2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3×3×3 = 25 x 35
⇒ 25 x 35 = 25 x 35
∴ 6x6x6x6x6 =(25 x 35) → True

3. The value of \(\frac{2^6 \times 8 \times 16}{2^{11} \times 2^2}\) is 1
⇒ \(\frac{2^8 \times 8 \times 16}{\frac{2^{14}}{2^5} \times 2^2}\)
⇒ \(\frac{128}{32 \times 4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{128}{128}=1\)
∴ \(\frac{2^6 \times 8 \times 16}{2^{11} \times 2^2}=1\); True
Question 3. Fill in the blanks:
- (-5)2 x (6)2 = ( )5
- 0.53= 0·053 x 10
- The value of \(\frac{3 \times 7^2 \times 2^5}{14 \times 42}\) is
Solution:
1. (-5)2 x(6)2 = ( )2
⇒ 2.5×36
⇒ 900
⇒ (30)²
∴ (-5)2 x (6)2 = (30)2
2. 0.53 = 0.053 × 101
⇒ 0.053×101
⇒ 0.53
∴ 0.53= 0.053×101
3. The value of \(\frac{3 \times 7^2 \times 2^5}{14 \times 42}\)
⇒ \(\frac{3 \times 7^2 \times 2^5}{14 \times 42}\)
⇒ \(\frac{3 \times 49 \times 32}{588}\)
⇒ \(\frac{4.704}{588}\)
= 8
∴ \(\frac{3 \times 7^2 \times 2^5}{14 \times 42}=8\)

Question 6. Simplify
- \(\frac{x^{-2} \times x^7}{x^8 \times x^{-4}}\)
- \(\frac{(18)^3 \times(2.5)^2}{(30)^4}\)
Solution:
1. \frac{x^{-2} \times x^7}{x^8 \times x^{-4}} \quad a^m \times d^n=a^{m-n}[/latex]
Here a = x, m = -2, n = 7 → Numerator
a = x, m = 8, n = -4 → Denominatore
⇒ \(\frac{x^{-2+7}}{x^{8+(-4)}}\)
⇒ \(\frac{x^5 x}{x^4}\)
∴ x
∴ \(\frac{x^{-2} \times x^7}{x^8 \times x^{-4}}=x\)
2. \(\frac{(18)^3 \times(2.5)^2}{(30)^4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{18 \times 18 \times 18 \times 25 \times 25}{30 \times 30 \times 30 \times 30}\)
⇒ \(\frac{58,32 \times 625}{810,000}\)
⇒ \(\frac{3.64,5,000}{810,000} \Rightarrow \frac{364.5}{810}=4.5\)
∴ \(\frac{(18)^3 \times(2.5)^2}{(30)^4}=4.5\)
Question 7. Find the value of
- \(\frac{7^3 \times 2^6 \times 10}{3.5 \times 224}\)

Solution:
1. \(\frac{7^3 \times 2^6 \times 10}{35 \times 224}\)
⇒ \(\frac{343 \times 64 \times 10}{35 \times 224}\)
⇒ \(\frac{219,520}{7840}\)
= 28
∴ \(\frac{7^3 \times 2^6 \times 10}{35 \times 224}=28\)
2. \(\frac{3^4 \times 6^5}{72}\)
⇒ \(\frac{81 \times 776}{72}\)
⇒ \(\frac{629,856}{72}=8748\)

Question 8. Express in terms of index.
- \(\frac{(a b)^6 \times\left(a^2 c\right)^2}{\left(a^4\right)^2 \times(b c)^5}\)
- \(9 \times 27 \times 81 \times 243\) (index of 3)
Solution:
1. \(\frac{a^6 \times b^6 \times a^2 \times a^2 \times c^2}{a^4 \times a^4 \times b^5 \times c^5 c^3}\)
⇒ \(\frac{a^2 \times b}{c^3}\)
⇒ \(a^2 \times b \times c^{-3}\)
∴ \(\frac{(a b)^6 \times\left(a^2 c\right)^2}{\left(a^4\right)^2 \times(b c)^2}=a^2 \times b \times c^{-3}\)
2. \(9 \times 27 \times 81 \times 243\) (index of 3)
⇒ 3 x 3 x 9 x 3 x 9 x 9 x 3 x 81
⇒ 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 9 x 9
⇒ 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
⇒ 314
∴ 9 x 27 x 81 x 243 = 314
