    ​Find the value of (16)−2+(15)−2+(14)−2.\text{Find the value of } \left( \frac{1}{6} \right)^{-2} + \left( \frac{1}{5} \right)^{-2
    Question

    Find the value of (16)2+(15)2+(14)2.\text{Find the value of } \left( \frac{1}{6} \right)^{-2} + \left( \frac{1}{5} \right)^{-2} + \left( \frac{1}{4} \right)^{-2}.​​

    A.

    77

    B.

    85

    C.

    83

    D.

    67

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    (16)2+(15)2+(14)2\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^{-2} + \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{-2} + \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-2}

    Formula Used:

    1an=an\dfrac{1}{a^{-n}} = a^{n} for a ≠ 0​

    Solution:

    (16)2+(15)2+(14)2\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^{-2} + \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{-2} + \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-2}

    =162+152+142\frac1{6^{-2}}+\frac 1{5^{-2}}+\frac 1{4^{-2}}​​

    =62+52+42=6^2 + 5^2 + 4^2​​
    =36 + 25 + 16 = 77
