Let ff and gg be functions satisfying f(x+y)=f(x)f(y),f(1)=7f(x+y)=f(x) f(y), f(1)=7 and g(x+y)=g(xy),g(1)=1g(x+y)=g(x y), g(1)=1, for all x,y∈Nx, y \in \mathbf{N}. If ∑x=1n(f(x)g(x))=19607\sum_{x=1}^{\mathrm{n}}\left(\frac{f(x)}{\mathrm{g}(x)}\right)=19607, then n is equal to:

Options

  1. A7
  2. B6
  3. C4
  4. D5

Correct answer

D. 5

Step-by-step solution

f(x+y)=f(x)f(y)f(x+y)=f(x)f(y) with f(1)=7f(1)=7 gives f(x)=7xf(x)=7^x.
For gg: put y=1y=1 in g(x+y)=g(xy)g(x+y)=g(xy) to get g(x+1)=g(x)g(x+1)=g(x).
So g(x)=g(1)=1g(x)=g(1)=1 for all x∈Nx \in \mathbb{N}.
∑x=1nf(x)g(x)=∑x=1n7x=7(7n−1)6=19607\sum_{x=1}^{n}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\sum_{x=1}^{n}7^x=\frac{7(7^n-1)}{6}=19607
7n+1−7=1176427^{n+1}-7=117642
⇒7n+1=117649=76\Rightarrow 7^{n+1}=117649=7^6
n+1=6⇒n=5n+1=6 \Rightarrow n=5
