Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Calculate each expression:

A = 16^0.32 * 4^0.36
= (2^4)^0.32 * (2^2)^0.36
= 2^1.28 * 2^0.72
= 2^2 = 4

B = (1/25)[8^(1/3) + 27^(1/3)]^-2
= (1/25)[2 + 3]^-2
= (1/25) * 5^-2
= 1/625

C = (1024)^(-1/5)
= (2^10)^(-1/5)
= 2^-2 = 1/4

D = (8/125)^(-1/3)
= ((2/5)^3)^(-1/3)
= (2/5)^-1 = 5/2

Thus, in increasing order: 1/625 < 1/4 < 5/2 < 4.
Therefore, B < C < D < A. Hence, Option B is correct.
