I did the test, and I also solved it. Its the only logical answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

$j=-2, k=-1$

The given expression is

$\left(\dfrac{jk^{-2}}{j^{-1}k^{-3}}\right)^3$

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

$\left(\dfrac{(-2)(-1)^{-2}}{(-2)^{-1}(-1)^{-3}}\right)^3$

$\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{(-2)(1)}{\dfrac{1}{-2}(-1)}\right)^3$

$\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{-2}{\dfrac{1}{2}}\right)^3$

$\Rightarrow \left(-4\right)^3$

$\Rightarrow -64$

Therefore, the correct option is A.
