Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 4 CONCEPT:
CALCULATION: Given that log5 (x - 2) + log5 (x + 3) = log5 14 Dropping log from the both sides we get- ⇒ (x - 2) × (x + 3) = 14 ⇒x2 + x - 6 = 14 ⇒ x2 + x - 20 = 0 On solving the quadratic equation x2 + x - 20 = 0 ⇒ (x - 4) × (x + 5) = 0 ⇒ x = 4 and x = - 5 Therefore x = 4. (negative value of x will be excluded) Therefore, option (3) is the correct answer. |
