Solution

Since, Ajay put a 1 cm piece of gum and came out $\frac{1}{100000}$
So, it is shrinking machine.
Hence, it is a ${(\times \frac{1^{1}}{10})}^{5}$ type shrinking machine.
Thus, missing value is 5.

Question 149

Repeater Machine
Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times. e.g. Sending a piece of wire through a $(\times 2^{4})$ machine is the same as putting it through a $(\times 2)$ machine four times.
So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire thorugh a $(\times 2)^{4}$ machine, its length becomes $3 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 48 c m .$ It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.
