    Question

    If 2x=4y+12^x = 4^{y+1} and 3y=3x93^y = 3^{x-9}​, then the values of x and y, respectively, are:​

    A.

    16, 7

    B.

    -16, 7

    C.

    -16, -7

    D.

    16, -7

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    2x=4y+12^x = 4^{y+1}​ and3y=3x93^y = 3^{x-9}​​,

    Solution:

    2x=22(y+1)

    Comparing power on both sides,

    x = 2y+2

    x - 2y = 2      ......(1) 

    3y=3x93^y = 3^{x-9}​​

    Comparing power on both sides,

    y = x - 9

    x - y = 9   ......... ( 2)

    From equation 1 and 2, We have

    x = 16, y = 7

    Thus, option (A) is right.
