Solution

Formula: 1 Mark
Value of n: 1 Mark
Numerical value: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark

Given that,

(am)2n=a2m

a2mn=a2m [(am)n=amn]


Since bases are same, their exponents also should be equal.

2mn=2m

n=2m2m

n=1

As per question,
a=2 and m=4

On substituting the values, we get:
a2m=22×4
=28
=2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2
=256
Hence, the required value is 256.
