Solution

The correct option is B 6481

Need to Find:––––––––––––––– (729512)23

To eliminate the negative sign from the exponent, we would take the fraction's (base) reciprocal.

(729512)23=(512729)23
[(ab)n=(ba)n]

Now,
(512729)23

=(8393)23
(512=8×8×8=83and729=9×9×9=93)

=[(89)3]23
(anbn=(ab)n)


=(89)3×23
((am)n=am×n)

=(89)2

=8292
((ab)n=anbn)

=8×89×9

(512729)23=(729512)23=6481––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––


Hence, the value of (729512)23 is 6481.

Option (b.) is the correct answer.
