Question

If 253.8×54.2÷56.4=25x25^{3.8}×5^{4.2}÷5^{6.4}=25^x, then the value of xx​ is:

A.

2.7

B.

1.2

C.

2

D.

1.4

Correct option is A

Given:

253.8×54.2÷56.4=25x25^{3.8} \times 5^{4.2} \div 5^{6.4} = 25^x​​

Formula Used:

am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}​​

am÷an=amna^m \div a^n = a^{m-n}​​

Solution:

57.6×54.2÷56.4=52x5^{7.6} \times 5^{4.2} \div 5^{6.4} = 5^{2x}​​

57.6+4.26.4=52x5^{7.6 + 4.2 - 6.4} = 5^{2x}​​

55.4=52x5^{5.4} = 5^{2x}​​

Since the bases are the same, equate the exponents:

5.4 = 2x

x=5.42=2.7x = \frac{5.4}{2} = 2.7
