Solution:
True
Take RHS = 8 x 105 + 7 x 104 + 6 x 103 +5 x 102 + 4 x 101 + 3 x 10°
= 8 x 100000 + 7 x 10000 + 6 x 1000 + 5 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 3 x 1 [∴ a° = 1]
= 800000 + 70000 + 6000 + 500+ 40+3 = 876543 = LHS
Hence, RHS = LHS

Question 62:
600060 = 6 x 105 + 6 x 102
Solution:
False
Take RHS =6 x 105 + 6 x 102 = 6 x 100000 + 6 x 100= 600000 + 600 = 600600 ≠ LHS
Hence, RHS ≠ LHS

Question 63:
4 x 105+ 3 x 104 + 2 x 103 + 1 x 10° = 432010
Solution:
False
Take LHS
= 4 x 105+ 3 x 104 + 2 x 103 + 1 x 10°
= 4 x 100000+ 3 x 10000 + 2 x 1000+ 1 x 1 [∴ a° = 1]
= 400000 + 30000 + 2000 + 1 = 432001 ≠ RHS
Hence, LHS ≠ RHS

Question 64:
8 x 106 + 2 x 104 + 5 x 102 + 9 x 10° = 8020509
Solution:
True
Take LHS
= 8 x 106 + 2 x 104 + 5 x 102 + 9 x 10°
= 8 x 1000000 + 2 x 10000 + 5 x 100 + 9 x 1 [∴ a° = 1]
= 8000000 + 2000 + 500+9 = 8020509 = RHS
Hence, LHS = RHS

Question 65:
4° +5° +6° = (4 + 5 + 6)°
Solution:
False
Here, 4° + 5° + 6° = 1 + 1 + 1= 3 [∴ a°=1]
and (4+ 5+ 6)° =(15)° =1
Hence, 4° + 5° + 6° ≠ (4 + 5 + 6)°

Question 66:
Arrange in ascending order.
25, 33, 23 x 2, (33)2, 35, 4°, 23 x 31
Solution:
In ascending order, the numbers are arranged from smallest to largest.
We have, 25=2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32.
33 =3 x 3 x 3=27.
23 x 2=2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.
(33)2 = 33 x 2  [∴ (am)n = amn]
36 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729.
35 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243.
4° = 1 [∴ a0 = 1]
and 23 x 31=2 x 2 x 2 x 3=24 Thus, the required ascending order will be
4° < 23 x 2 < 23 x 31 < 33 < 25 < 35 < (33)2.

Question 67:
Arrange the following exponents in descending order. 22+3 , (22)3 , (2 x 22) , 35/32 , (32 x 30 ) , (22 x 52)   .
Solution:
In descending order, the numbers are arranged from largest to smallest. We have, 22 + 3 = 25=2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32.
(22)3 => 26= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2=64.
2 x 22 = 21+2 => 23 = 8.
35/32  = 35-2 => 33 = 27.
32 x 30 = 32+0 => 32 = 9.
23 x 52 =2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 => 8 x 25 = 200.
Thus, the required descending order will be
(22 x 52) > (22)3  > 22+3  > 35/32  > (32 x 30 )  > (2 x 22).

Question 68:
By what number should (-4)5 be divided so that the quotient may be equal to (- 4)3 ?

Question 82:
Express the following numbers in standard form.
(a) 76,47,000                            (b) 8,19,00,000
(c) 5,83,00,00,00,000           (d) 24 billion
Solution:
(a) We have, 76,47,000 = 7647000,00
A number in standard form is written as a x 10k, where a is the terminating decimal such that 1 < a < 10 and k is any integer.
So,7647000 = 7647 x 103
= 7.647 x 103 x 103 = 7.647 x 106
Similarly,
(b) 8,19,00,000 = 81900000.00= 819 x 10 s = 8.19 x 102 x 105 = 8.19 x 107
(c) 5,83,00,00,00,000 = 583000000000.00= 583 x 109 = 5.83 x 102 x 109 = 5.83 x 1011
(d) 24 billion = 24,00,00,00,000 = 24 x 109 = 2.4 x 101 x 109 = 2.4 x 1010

Question 83:
The speed of light in vacuum is 3 x 108 m/s. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth. Express distance of Sun from Earth in standard form.
Solution:
It is given that,
Speed of light = 3 x 108 m/s
Time taken by light to reach the Earth = 8 min= 8 x 60 s= 480 s [∴ 1 min = 60s]
We know that,
Distance = Speed x Time=3 x 108 x 480 = 1440 x 108 = 1.440 x 103 x 108
= 1.44 x 1011 [∴ 103 x 108 = 1011]
Hence, the distance of Sun from the Earth is 1.44 x 1011 m.

NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Exponents and Powers Img 81
Solution:
1. Area of Kalahari, South Africa = 932,400 = 932400.00 [∴ standard form a x 10k]
= 9324 x 102 = 9.324 x 103 x 102 = 9.324 x 106
2. Area of Thar, India = 199,430 = 199430.00 = 19943 x 101 = 1.9943 x 104 x 101 = 1.9943 x 105
3. Area of Gibson, Australia = 155,400= 155400.00= 1554 x 102 = 1.554 x 103 x 102 = 1.554 x 105
4. Area of Great Victoria, Australia = 647,500= 647500.00
= 6475 x 102 = 6.475 x 103 x 105 = 6475 x 105
5. Area of Sahara, North-Africa = 8,598,800= 8598800.00
= 85988 x 102 = 8.5988 x 104 x 102 = 85988 x 106
Two numbers written in scientific notation can be compared. The number with the larger power of 10 is greater than the number with the smaller power of 10. If the powers of ten are the same, then the number with larger factor is the larger number.
Hence, required ascending order of the size will be
Gibson, Australia < Thar, India < Great Victoria, Australia < Kalahari, South-Africa < Sahara, North-Africa.

Question 88:
Write the number of seconds in scientific notation.
NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Exponents and Powers Img 84
Solution:
1. 1 min = 60 s = 60 x 101 s = 6 x 101 s
2. 1 h = 3,600 s = 36 x 102 s = 3.6 x 10 x 102 s = 3.6 x 103 s
3. 1 day = 86,400 s = 8.64 x 102 s = 8.64 x 102 x 102 s = 8.64 x 104 s = 8.6 x 104 s
4. 1 month = 2,600,000 s=26 x 105 s =2.6 x 10 x 105 s = 2.6 x 106 s
5. 1 yr = 32,000,000 s = 32 x 106 s = 32 x 106 s = 3.2 x 10 x 106 s = 32 x 107 s
6. 10 yr = 320,000,000 s = 32 x 107 S = 32 x 10 x 107 s = 3.2 x 108 s

Question 89:

Question 90:
If 2n+2 +2n+1 + 2n = c x 2n, then find c.
Solution:
We have, 2n+2 +2n+1 + 2n = c x 2n
=> 2n 22 +2n 21 + 2n = c x 2n [∴ am+n = am x an]
=> 2n [22 – 21 + 1] = c x 2n [taking common 2n in LHS]
=> 2n[4-2 + 1]=c x 2n
=> 3  x 2n  = c x 2n
3  x 2n x 2-n =c  x 3n x c-n [multiplying both sides by 2-n]
=> 3 x 2n-1 = c x 2n-n   [∴ am+n = am x an]
=> 3 x 2° =c x 2°
=> 3x 1 =c x 1    [∴ a°=1]
∴  3 = c

Life Science
Bacteria can divide in every 20 minutes. So, 1 bacterium can multiply to 2 in 20 minutes, 4 in 40 minutes, and so on. How many bacteria will there be in 6 hours? Write your answer using exponents, then evaluate.
NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Exponents and Powers Img 90
Most Bacteria reproduce by a type of simple cell division known as binary fission.
Each species reproduce best at a specific temperature and moisture level.
Solution:
We know that, 1 h = 60 min
6 h = 60 x 6 min = 360 min Given, a bacteria doubles itself in every 20 min.
Number of times it will double itself = 360 min/20 min = 18
∴ Bacteria will there in 6 h = 2 x 2 x 2 x … x 2 (18 times) =218

Question 94:
Blubber makes up 27 per cent of a blue whale’s body weight. Deepak found the average weight of blue whales and used it to calculate the average weight of their blubber. He wrote the amount as 22 x 32 x 5 x 17 kg. Evaluate this amount.
NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Exponents and Powers Img 91
Solution:
Weight calculated by Deepak = 22 x 32 x 5 x 17 kg
= 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 17 = 4 x 9 x 5 x 17
= 36 x 5 x 17= 180 x 17 = 3060 kg Hence, weight calculated by Deepak was 3060 kg.

Question 95:
Life Science Application
The major components of human blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. A typical red blood cell has a diameter of approx 7 x 10-6 metre. A typical platelet has a diameter of approximately 2.33 x 10-6 metre.
Which has a greater diameter, a red blood cell or a platelet?
Solution:
Given, diameter of red blood cell = 7 x 10-6 m
and diameter of platelet = 2.33 x 10-6 m
We know that, two numbers written in scientific notation can be compared. The number with the larger power of 10 is greater than the number with the smaller power of 10. If the powers of ten are the same, then the number with the larger factor is the larger number. Therefore, red blood cell has a greater diameter than a platelet.
