If x = _ 5 3 + _ 7 5 + _ 9 7 , then

If x=log⁡53+log⁡75+log⁡97x = \log_{5}3 + \log_{7}5 + \log_{9}7, then

Options

  1. Ax>32x > \dfrac{3}{2}
  2. Bx>123x > \dfrac{1}{23}
  3. Cx>323x > \dfrac{3}{23}
  4. Dx>23x > 23

Correct answer

C. x>323x > \dfrac{3}{23}

Step-by-step solution

We have, x=log⁡53+log⁡75+log⁡97x = \log_{5}3 + \log_{7}5 + \log_{9}7

Using AM≥GMAM \ge GM for three positive real numbers a+b+c3≥(abc)13\dfrac{a + b + c}{3} \ge \left(abc\right)\dfrac{1}{3}. Equality holds when a=b=c.a = b = c.

∴log⁡53+log⁡75+log⁡973>(log⁡53⋅log⁡75⋅log⁡97)1/3⇒x>3(log⁡3log⁡5×log⁡5log⁡7×log⁡7log⁡9)1/3∴ \dfrac{\log_{5}3 + \log_{7}5 + \log_{9}7}{3} > \left(\log_{5}3 \cdot \log_{7}5 \cdot \log_{9}7\right)^{1} / 3⇒ x > 3\left(\dfrac{\log 3}{\log 5} \times \dfrac{\log 5}{\log 7} \times \dfrac{\log 7}{\log 9}\right)^{1} / 3

⇒x>3(12)1/3⇒x>323⇒ x > 3\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{1} / 3 ⇒ x > \dfrac{3}{23}
