So we get

𝑥 4𝑎+4𝑏+4𝑐
=
𝑥 4𝑎+4𝑏+4𝑐

We get

=1

= RHS

16. If x is a positive real number and exponents are rational numbers, simplify
𝒙𝒃 𝒙𝒄 𝒙𝒂
( 𝒄 )𝒃+𝒄−𝒂 . ( 𝒂 )𝒄+𝒂−𝒃 . ( 𝒃 )𝒂+𝒃−𝒄
𝒙 𝒙 𝒙

Solution:

Given,

xb xc xa
( c )b+c−a . ( a)c+a−b . ( b )a+b−c
x x x

It can be written as
2 +𝑏𝑐−𝑎𝑏 2 +𝑎𝑐−𝑏𝑐 2 +𝑎𝑏−𝑎𝑐
x𝑏 x𝑐 x𝑎
=( 2 −𝑎𝑐 ).( 2 −𝑎𝑏 ).( 2 −𝑏𝑐 )
xbc+𝑐 xac+𝑎 xab+𝑏

On further calculation
2 +𝑏𝑐−𝑎𝑏−𝑏𝑐−𝑐 2 +𝑎𝑐 2 +𝑎𝑐−𝑏𝑐−𝑎𝑐−𝑎2 +𝑎𝑏 2 +𝑎𝑏−𝑎𝑐−𝑎𝑏−𝑏2 +𝑏𝑐
= (x 𝑏 ) (x 𝑐 )(x 𝑎 )

2 −𝑎𝑏−𝑐 2 +𝑎𝑐 2 −𝑏𝑐−𝑎2 +𝑎𝑏 2 −𝑎𝑐−𝑏 2 +𝑏𝑐
= (x 𝑏 ) (x 𝑐 )(x 𝑎 )
By grouping the terms
2 −𝑎𝑏−𝑐 2 +𝑎𝑐+𝑐 2 −𝑏𝑐−𝑎2 +𝑎𝑏+𝑎2 −𝑎𝑐−𝑏2 +𝑏𝑐
= x𝑏
We get

17. If = , prove that m-n = 1.
𝟑𝟑𝒎 × 𝟐𝟑 𝟐𝟕
Solution:

We know that

−
9n × 32 ×(3 2 )−2 − (27)n 1
=
33m × 23 27

It can be written as
1 −2
32n × 32 ×( 3 n

3 2 1
=
33m × 8 33
𝑛
32n+2 (3 2 )2 − 33𝑛 1
=
33m ×8 33

On further calculation

32n+2 ×3𝑛 − 33𝑛 1

=
33m ×8 33

Considering the degrees in the numerator we get

32n+2+n − 33𝑛 1
=
33m ×8 33

33n+2 − 33𝑛 1
=
33m × 8 33

So we get

33n (32 −1) 1

=
33m × 8 33

33n × 8 1
=
33m ×8 33

It can be written as

1 1
=
33m+3n 33

So we get

3m – 3n = 3
Taking 3 as common

m–n=1

18. Write the following in ascending order of magnitude.

Solution:

We can write

6
√6 = 6 6

1

4
√8 = 84
We know that the LCM of

6, 3 and 4 is 12

So we get,
1 1 2 2 1 1
6 ×
√6 = 66 = 66 2 = 612 = (62 )12 = (36)12
1 1 4 4 1 1
3 ×
√7 = 73 = 73 4 = 712 = (74 )12 = (2401)12
1 1 3 3 1 1
4 ×
√8 = 84 = 84 3 = 812 = (83 )12 = (512)12
 RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 –

We know that 36 < 512 < 2401

1 1 1
(36)12 < (512)12 <(2401)12

6 4 3
Therefore, √6 < √8 < √7
