If 2n-1 + 2n+1 = 320, then the value of n is = ?

A. 6

B. 8

C. 5

D. 7

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{ }}{{\text{2}}^{n - 1}}{\text{ + }}{{\text{2}}^{n + 1}}{\text{ = 320}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{ }}{{\text{2}}^{n - 1}}\left( {1 + {2^2}} \right){\text{ = 320}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{ }}{{\text{2}}^{n - 1}} \times {\text{5 = 320}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{ }}{{\text{2}}^{n - 1}}{\text{ = }}\frac{{320}}{5}{\text{ = 64}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( 2 \right)^{n - 1}} = {\left( 2 \right)^6} \cr & \Rightarrow n - 1 = 6 \cr & \Rightarrow n = 7 \cr} $$

    2^n-1+2^n+1=320
    2^n.2^-1+2^n.2^1=320
    2^n(2^-1+2)=320
    2^n(1/2+2)=320
    2^n(5/2)=320
    2^n=(320×5)/2
    2^n=64
    2^n=2^7
    N=7
    Answer is 7
