Explanatory Answer

This question can be solved by comparing powers of 2 and 3
= (∜64)
=
.= .
. =
Comparing the powers in both sides,
3n + 12 = 4m
4 + 2m = n
Substituting the value of n we get,
3 (4 + 2m) + 12 = 4m
12 + 6m + 12 = 4m
24 = -2m
m = -12


The question is "If m and n are integers such that (\\sqrt{2}))19 34 42 9m 8n = 3n 16m (∜64) then m is "

Hence, the answer is -12

Choice C is the correct answer.
