If the sum of the first 20 terms of the series log 7 1 / 2 x + log 7 1 / 3 x + log 7 1 / 4 x + … is 460 , then x is equal to:
Options
- A7 2
- B7 1 / 2
- Ce 2
- D7 46 / 21
Correct answer
A. 7 2
Step-by-step solution
Given log 7 1 / 2 x + log 7 1 / 3 x + log 7 1 / 4 x + … 20 times = 460 ⇒    ( 2 + 3 + 4 + … . . + 21 ) log 7 x = 460 ⇒    20 2 ( 2 + 21 ) log 7 x = 460 ⇒    log 7 x = 2 ⇒    x = 49
