D.

1

Correct option is B

Given
Expression = (161×8243×25)13 \left(\frac{16^{-1} × 8^2}{4^{-3} × 2^5}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}​​
Formula Used
(xa)b=xab xa×xb=xa+b xaxb=xab (x^a)^b = x^{ab} \\\ \\x^a × x^b = x^{a+b}\\\ \\\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}\\\ \\​​
Solution
Convert all bases into powers of 2:
161=(24)1=2482=(23)2=2643=(22)3=2616^{-1} = (2^4)^{-1} = 2^{-4} \\8^2 = (2^3)^2 = 2^6 \\4^{-3} = (2^2)^{-3} = 2^{-6}​​
Substitute these values into the numerator:
24×26=24+6=222^{-4} × 2^6 = 2^{-4+6} = 2^2​​
Substitute these values into the denominator:
26×25=26+5=212^{-6} × 2^5 = 2^{-6+5} = 2^{-1}​​
Now simplify the fraction:
2221=22(1)=23\frac{2^2}{2^{-1}} = 2^{2 - (-1)} = 2^3​​
Apply the outer power:
(23)13=23×13=21=2(2^3)^{\frac{1}{3}} = 2^{3 × \frac{1}{3}} = 2^1 = 2​​
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (b)
