General Instructions

  • All questions are compulsory.
  • Section A carries 1 mark each, Section B 2 marks, Section C 3 marks and Section D 5 marks.
  • Show all working for Sections B, C and D. Only final answers are given at the end — for full solutions, raise your doubts with your teacher.
Section A — Multiple Choice Questions 5 × 1 = 5 marks
1.
If $a^x=a^y$ ($a\ne0,1$), then:
  • A.$x=y$
  • B.$x=-y$
  • C.$x=1/y$
  • D.$xy=1$
2.
$2^x=8$ gives $x=$
  • A.$2$
  • B.$3$
  • C.$4$
  • D.$8$
3.
$3^x=81$ gives $x=$
  • A.$3$
  • B.$4$
  • C.$5$
  • D.$9$
4.
To solve, write both sides with the same:
  • A.exponent
  • B.base
  • C.sign
  • D.coefficient
5.
$5^x=1$ gives $x=$
  • A.$0$
  • B.$1$
  • C.$5$
  • D.$-1$
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks) 4 × 2 = 8 marks
6.
Solve $2^x=16$.
7.
Solve $3^x=27$.
8.
Solve $10^x=1000$.
9.

Section C — Short Answer (3 marks) 4 × 3 = 12 marks
10.
Solve $2^x=32$.
11.
Solve $4^x=64$.
12.
Solve $9^x=27$.
13.
Solve $2^{x+1}=16$.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks) 2 × 5 = 10 marks
14.
Solve $3^{2x-1}=81$.
15.
Solve $2^{x+2}=8^{x-1}$.
