Correct Answer: $\frac{k^{32}-\frac{1}{k^{32}}}{k+\frac{1}{k}}$

Solution : Consider, $\left(k-\frac{1}{k}\right)\left(k^2+\frac{1}{k^2}\right)\left(k^4+\frac{1}{k^4}\right)\left(k^8+\frac{1}{k^8}\right)\left(k^{16}+\frac{1}{k^{16}}\right)$
Multiplying and dividing by $(k+\frac{1}{k})$
⇒ $\left(k-\frac{1}{k}\right)\left(k^2+\frac{1}{k^2}\right)\left(k^4+\frac{1}{k^4}\right)\left(k^8+\frac{1}{k^8}\right)\left(k^{16}+\frac{1}{k^{16}}\right)=\frac{(k-\frac{1}{k})(k+\frac{1}{k})(k^2+\frac{1}{k^2})(k^4+\frac{1}{k^4})(k^8+\frac{1}{k^8})(k^{16}+\frac{1}{k^{16}})}{k+\frac{1}{k}}$
Now using, $(a+b)(a-b)=a^2 - b^2$
⇒ $\left(k-\frac{1}{k}\right)\left(k^2+\frac{1}{k^2}\right)\left(k^4+\frac{1}{k^4}\right)\left(k^8+\frac{1}{k^8}\right)\left(k^{16}+\frac{1}{k^{16}}\right)=\frac{(k^2-\frac{1}{k^2})(k^2+\frac{1}{k^2})(k^4+\frac{1}{k^4})(k^8+\frac{1}{k^8})(k^{16}+\frac{1}{k^{16}})}{k+\frac{1}{k}}$
$=\frac{(k^4-\frac{1}{k^4})(k^4+\frac{1}{k^4})(k^8+\frac{1}{k^8})(k^{16}+\frac{1}{k^{16}})}{k+\frac{1}{k}}$
$=\frac{(k^8-\frac{1}{k^8})(k^8+\frac{1}{k^8})(k^{16} + \frac{1}{k^{16}})}{k+\frac{1}{k}}$
$=\frac{(k^{16} - \frac{1}{k^{16}})(k^{16} + \frac{1}{k^{16}})}{k+\frac{1}{k}}$
$=\frac{k^{32} - \frac{1}{k^{32}}}{k+\frac{1}{k}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{k^{32} - \frac{1}{k^{32}}}{k+\frac{1}{k}}$.

Solution : Marked Price (MP) = Rs. 1600
First discount = 10%
Final selling price (SP) = Rs. 1368

Correct Answer: $(200+\frac{200}{\sqrt{3}})$ metres

Solution :
Let BD be $x$ and CD be $y$.
In right $\triangle$ABD,
$\tan 45^{\circ}$ = $\frac{AD}{BD}$
$⇒1 = \frac{200}{x}$
$⇒x= 200$
Now, in right $\triangle$ACD,
$\tan 60^{\circ}= \frac{AD}{CD}$
$⇒\sqrt3= \frac{200}{y}$
$⇒y= \frac{200}{\sqrt3}$
$\therefore$ The width of the river $=x+y = 200+\frac{200}{\sqrt3}$ metres
Hence, the correct
