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
