Answer:

a. False : because 10^-5= 1/10^5 where as -10^5=-1 × 10^5

therefore 1/10^5 not equal to -1×10^5

b. False : because (10^2)^-3 = 100^-3=1/100^3 where as (10^2)^3 = 100^3=1000000 there fore 1/100^3 not equal to 1000000

c. True : because 10^3/10^14=10^(3-14)=10^-11 therefore both left side and right side of the equation are equal
