(ii) 8 x 27+2 =32
(iii) 62n+1 +36 = 63

Solution:
() 52r x 53 = 59
’ 52n+3 = 59

comparing both sides, we get,

’ 2n +3 =9

’ 2n =9-3
’ 2n =6

n=3

(ii) 8x 2n+2 =32

’ 23 x 27+2 = 25
23+n+2 = 25
25+n = 25

comparing both sides, we get,

’5+n=5
n=5 -5
n=0

(iiü) 62n+*1 + 36 = 63
62n+1 + 62 = 63
62n+1-2 = 63
62n-1 =63
comparing both sides, we get,
’ 2n-1=3
’ 2n = 3 + 1
’ 2n = 4

:n=2

Question 18: If 2n-7 x 57-4= 1250, find the value of n.

Solution:
21-7 x 57-4 = 1250
26
7X= 2x 625
2n x 5n = 21x 5 x 27 x 54 a x bn = (ax b)]
’ (2x 5)" = 21+7 x 54+4
’ (2x 5)" = 29 x 58
’ (2x 5)" = (2x5)8
comparing both sides, we get,
n=8

Question 1: Express each of the following numbers in standard form:

(i) 538
(ii) 6428000
(iii) 82934000000
(iv) 940000000000
(v) 23000000

Solution: We can write in standard form

(i) 538 = 5.38 x 102
(ii) 6428000 = 6.428 x 106
(iii) 82934000000 = 8.2934 x 1010
(iv) 940000000000 = 9.4 x 1011
(v) 23000000 = 2.3 x 107

Question 2: Express each of the following numbers in standard form:

(i) Diameter of Earth = 12756000 m.
(ii) Distance between Earth and Moon = 384000000 m.
(iii) Population of India in March 2001 = 1027000000.
(iv) Number of stars in a galaxy = 100000000000.
(v) The present age of universe = 12000000000 years.

Solution:

(i) Diameter of Earth= 12756000 m

=1.2756000 x 107m
=1.2756 × 107 m

(ii) Distance between Earth and Moon= 384000000 m

=3.84 x 108 m
(ii) Population of India in March 2001= 1027000000
=1.027x 109

(iv) Number of stars in a galaxy = 100000000000

=1x 1011

(v) The present age of universe = 12000000000 years

= 1.2 x 1010 years

Question 3: Write the following numbers in expanded form:

() 684502
(ii) 4007185
(iii) 5807294
(iv) 50074

Solution:

The expanded form will be

(i) 684502 = 6x105 + 8x 104 + 4 x 103 + 5 x 102 + 2
(ii) 4007185 = 4 x106 +0x 105 +0x 104 +7x103 +1x 102 +8x 101 +5x10o
(ii) 5807294 = 5 x106 + 8x105 +0 x104 + 7x103 + 2 x 102 +9x 101 + 4 x100
(iv) 50074 = 5x10+ + 0 x103 + 0 x 10² + 7x 101 + 4 X100

(iii) 8 x 105 + 6 x 104 4+ 4 x 103 + 2 x 102 +9 x 10! + 6 x 100

Solution:
(i) 6 × 104 + 3 x 103 + 0 x 102 + 7× 101 + 8 x 100
