Let f(x) be a function such that f(x + y) = f(x) · f(y) for all x,...

Let f(x)f\left(x\right) be a function such that f(x+y)=f(x)⋅f(y)f\left(x + y\right) = f\left(x\right) \cdot f\left(y\right) for all x,y∈Nx, y \in N, If f(1)=3f\left(1\right) = 3 and ∑k=1nf(k)=3279\mathop{∑}_{k = 1}^{n}f\left(k\right) = 3279, then the value of nn is

Correct answer

C. 77

Step-by-step solution

Given,

ff\left(x + y\right) = f(x)⋅f(y)\left(x\right) \cdot f\left(y\right) and f(1)=3f\left(1\right) = 3

Now taking x=1 and y=1x = 1 \text{ and } y = 1 we get,

f(1+1)=f(1)⋅f(1)⇒f(2)=32f\left(1 + 1\right) = f\left(1\right) \cdot f\left(1\right) ⇒ f\left(2\right) = {3}^{2}

Similarly f(2+1)=f(2)⋅f(1)⇒f(3)=32×3=33f\left(2 + 1\right) = f\left(2\right) \cdot f\left(1\right) ⇒ f\left(3\right) = {3}^{2} \times 3 = {3}^{3}

And so on f(n)=3nf\left(n\right) = {3}^{n}

So, ∑r=1nf(r)=3279\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n}f\left(r\right) = 3279

⇒f(1)+f(2)+f(3).......f(n)=3279⇒ f\left(1\right) + f\left(2\right) + f\left(3\right) . . . . . . . f\left(n\right) = 3279

⇒3+32+33.......+3n=3279⇒ 3 + {3}^{2} + {3}^{3} . . . . . . . + {3}^{n} = 3279

⇒3×3n−13−1=3279⇒ 3 \times \dfrac{{3}^{n} - 1}{3 - 1} = 3279

⇒3n−12=1093⇒ \dfrac{{3}^{n} - 1}{2} = 1093

⇒3n−1=2186⇒ {3}^{n} - 1 = 2186

⇒3n=2187⇒ {3}^{n} = 2187

⇒3n=37⇒ {3}^{n} = {3}^{7}

⇒n=7⇒ n = 7
