Question : A student was asked to find the value of $\left[(\frac{4}{9} \div \frac{3}{5} \div \frac{3}{2}) \times \frac{9}{25}\right] ×{\left[\frac{2}{3} \text { of } \frac{4}{9} \div\left(3 \times \frac{3}{5} \text { of } \frac{4}{5}\right)\right]}{\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{3}{4} \text { of } 6}$ His answer was $\frac{2}{9}$. What is the difference between his answer and the correct answer?
Option 1: $\frac{1}{12}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{4}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{24}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{6}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{12}$
Solution : According to the question $\left[(\frac{4}{9} \div \frac{3}{5} \div \frac{3}{2}) \times \frac{9}{25}\right] ×{\left[\frac{2}{3} \text { of } \frac{4}{9} \div\left(3 \times \frac{3}{5} \text { of } \frac{4}{5}\right)\right]}{\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{3}{4} \text { of } 6}$ = $\left[(\frac{4}{9} × \frac{5}{3} × \frac{2}{3}) \times \frac{9}{25}\right] ×{\left[\frac{2}{3} \text { of }
Question : What is the simplified value of $(3+1)(3^{2}+1)(3^{4}+1)(3^{8}+1)(3^{16}+1)$?
Option 1: $\frac{(3^{32}-1)}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{(3^{16}-1)}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{(3^{64}-1)}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{(3^{128}-1)}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{(3^{32}-1)}{2}$
Solution : Given: $(3+1)(3^{2}+1)(3^{4}+1)(3^{8}+1)(3^{16}+1)$ Multiplying and dividing by 2, we get: $\frac{1}{2}(3-1)(3+1)(3^{2}+1)(3^{4}+1)(3^{8}+1)(3^{16}+1)$ = $\frac{1}{2}(3^2-1)(3^{2}+1)(3^{4}+1)(3^{8}+1)(3^{16}+1)$ = $\frac{1}{2}(3^4-1)(3^{4}+1)(3^{8}+1)(3^{16}+1)$ = $\frac{1}{2}(3^8-1)(3^{8}+1)(3^{16}+1)$ = $\frac{1}{2}(3^{16}-1)(3^{16}+1)$ = $\frac{1}{2}(3^{32}-1)$ = $\frac{3^{32}-1}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3^{32}-1}{2}$.
