Statement 1: (58)7×(85)4=x\Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{-7} \times \Big(\dfrac{8}{5}\Big)^{-4} = x

⇒ x = (58)3\Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{3}

Statement 2: (58)7×(58)4=x\Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{-7} \times \Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{4} = x

⇒ x = (85)3\Big(\dfrac{8}{5}\Big)^{3}

  1. Both the statements are true.

  2. Both the statements are false.

  3. Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

  4. Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.

Answer

Given,

(58)7×(85)4=x(58)7×(58)4=x(58)7+4=x(58)3=xx=(85)3\Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{-7} \times \Big(\dfrac{8}{5}\Big)^{-4} = x\\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{-7} \times \Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{4} = x\\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{-7 + 4} = x\\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{5}{8}\Big)^{-3} = x\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \Big(\dfrac{8}{5}\Big)^{3}

∴ Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
