Solution

The correct options are
A x4×x2=x8
B x5x3=x
C (x2)4=x24
D 2x1=12x
Since am×an=am+n for a non-zero integer a and integers m and n,
x4×x2=x42=x6x8 in general.

Since aman=amn for a non-zero integer a and integers m and n,
x5x3=x53=x2x in general.

Using the law (am)n=amn,
(x2)4=x2×4=x8x16 in general.

Using the law am=1am,
2x1=2×1x=2x12x in general.

Hence, the calculations in all the given options are wrong.
