Question

If  (97)3×(4981)2x6=(79)9,\left(\frac{9}{7}\right)^3 \times \left(\frac{49}{81}\right)^{2x - 6} = \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^9, then value of x is -

A.

9

B.

6

C.

8

D.

12

Correct option is B

Given:
(97)3×(4981)2x6=(79)9\left(\frac{9}{7}\right)^3 \times \left(\frac{49}{81}\right)^{2x - 6} = \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^9​​

Formula used:
am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m + n}​​
Solution:
4981=7292=(79)2=>(4981)2x6=(79)4x12Also,(97)3=(79)3\frac{49}{81} = \frac{7^2}{9^2} = \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^2 \\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{49}{81}\right)^{2x - 6} = \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^{4x - 12} \\Also, \left(\frac{9}{7}\right)^3 = \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^{-3}​​

So,
(79)3×(79)4x12=(79)9=>(79)4x15=(79)9\left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^{-3} \times \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^{4x - 12} = \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^9 \\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^{4x - 15} = \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^9​​
Equating powers:
4x - 15 = 9
=>4x=24=>x=6\Rightarrow 4x = 24 \\\Rightarrow x = 6​​
Correct answer is (b) 6​​
