Final answer:

The expression √(2∙163/2) does not yield any of the negative integer options given. The square root of a fraction generally results in a positive number, and the given expression would not simplify to an integer value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression √(2∙163/2) is not equivalent to any of the negative integer options (-6, -8, -12, -64) provided. This expression represents the square root of a fraction, and without knowing more about the context or having additional information, there seems to be a typo or error in the question as presented. Typically, the square root of a positive number is also positive, and the square root function does not produce negative results when considering real numbers. If we were to evaluate √(2∙163/2), we would find it does not equate to a simple integer value.
