KVPY2011MathematicsQuadratic Equation
Below are four equations in x . Assume that 0 < r < 4 . Which of the following has the largest solution for x ?
Options
- A5 (1+ r )^ x =9
- B5 (1+ r 17 )^ x =9
- C5(1+2 r)^ x =9
- D5 (1+ 1 r )^ x =9
Correct answer
B. 5 (1+ r 17 )^ x =9
Step-by-step solution
Given 0 < r < 4 in the given options ( Base )^ x = 9 5 for largest value of x , base should be minimum. in option B base (1+ r 17 ) is minimum for 0 < r < 4 .
