Solution and Explanation

Approach Solution 1

Explanation:
Given to us in the question, the value of n is 3.
It has asked to calculate the value of \(2^{2n}\)+ 1
Given n = 3,
Firstly the exponent is 2n,
The value of 2n = 2 *3 = 6
Putting the value of 2n in the equation
\(2^{2n}\)+ 1
=> \(2^6\)+ 1
\(2^6\)= 2 * 2 * 2 *2 * 2*2 = 64
The value of 2^6 is 64.
The value of 2^6 + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65
Therefore the correct option will be 65.

Correct Answer: E

Approach Solution 2
Given to us in the question, the value of n is 3.
It has asked to calculate the value of \(2^{2n}\)+ 1
Given n = 3,
Putting the value of n in the equation
\(2^{2n}\)+ 1
=> \(2^{2*3}\) + 1
\(2^3\)*\(2^3\)+1
The value of 2^3 = 8
=> 8*8 + 1 = 64 + 1
Therefore the correct option will be 65.

Correct Answer: E
