If x+ _ 10 (1+2^x)=x _ 10 5+ _ 10 6 then x is equal to

If x+log⁡10(1+2x)=xlog⁡105+log⁡106x+\log _{10}\left(1+2^x\right)=x \log _{10} 5+\log _{10} 6 then xx is equal to

Options

  1. A2,−32,-3
  2. B22 only
  3. C11
  4. D33

Correct answer

C. 11

Step-by-step solution

x+log⁡10(1+2x)=xlog⁡105+log⁡106⇒x−xlog⁡105=log⁡106−log⁡10(1+2x)⇒x(1−log⁡105)=log⁡106−log⁡10(1+2x)⇒x(log⁡1010−log⁡105)=log⁡10(61+2x)⇒x(log⁡10(105))=log⁡10(61+2x)⇒xlog⁡102=log⁡10(61+2x)\begin{aligned} & x+\log _{10}\left(1+2^x\right)=x \log _{10} 5+\log _{10} 6 \\ & \Rightarrow x-x \log _{10} 5=\log _{10} 6-\log _{10}\left(1+2^x\right) \\ & \Rightarrow x\left(1-\log _{10} 5\right)=\log _{10} 6-\log _{10}\left(1+2^x\right) \\ & \Rightarrow x\left(\log _{10} 10-\log _{10} 5\right)=\log _{10}\left(\frac{6}{1+2^x}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow x\left(\log _{10}\left(\frac{10}{5}\right)\right)=\log _{10}\left(\frac{6}{1+2^x}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow x \log _{10} 2=\log _{10}\left(\frac{6}{1+2^x}\right)\end{aligned} This is possible only when x=1x=1.
