The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate the two statements P and Q separately. ### Statement P: **P: The multiplicative inverse of \((\frac{2}{3})^{-5}\) is \((- \frac{2}{3})^{5}\)** 1. **Understanding Multiplicative Inverse**: The multiplicative inverse of a number \(x\) is defined as \(\frac{1}{x}\). For example, the multiplicative inverse of \(2\) is \(\frac{1}{2}\) because \(2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1\). 2. **Calculating \((\frac{2}{3})^{-5}\)**: \[ (\frac{2}{3})^{-5} = \frac{1}{(\frac{2}{3})^{5}} = \frac{1}{\frac{2^5}{3^5}} = \frac{3^5}{2^5} \] 3. **Finding the Multiplicative Inverse**: \[ \text{Multiplicative Inverse of } (\frac{2}{3})^{-5} = \frac{1}{(\frac{2}{3})^{-5}} = \frac{2^5}{3^5} \] 4. **Comparing with \((- \frac{2}{3})^{5}\)**: \[ (-\frac{2}{3})^{5} = -\frac{2^5}{3^5} \] 5. **Conclusion for Statement P**: The multiplicative inverse of \((\frac{2}{3})^{-5}\) is \(\frac{2^5}{3^5}\), not \((- \frac{2}{3})^{5}\). Therefore, **Statement P is false**. ### Statement Q: **Q: The value of \([1^0 + 2^0 + 3^0] \times 6^{-1}\) is \(\frac{1}{2}\)** 1. **Calculating \(1^0\), \(2^0\), and \(3^0\)**: \[ 1^0 = 1, \quad 2^0 = 1, \quad 3^0 = 1 \] 2. **Summing the Values**: \[ 1^0 + 2^0 + 3^0 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 \] 3. **Calculating \(6^{-1}\)**: \[ 6^{-1} = \frac{1}{6} \] 4. **Final Calculation**: \[ [1^0 + 2^0 + 3^0] \times 6^{-1} = 3 \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \] 5. **Conclusion for Statement Q**: The value is indeed \(\frac{1}{2}\). Therefore, **Statement Q is true**. ### Final Conclusion: - Statement P is **false**. - Statement Q is **true**. ### Correct Option: Since P is false and Q is true, the correct option is that **only Q is true**.
