Q.

Let a=32 and b=151/166. If x,y are such that 3x+2y=loga(18)54 and 2x-y=logb(1080), then 4x+5y is equal to ______.      [2024]


Ans.

(8)

a=32a2=18;  Now, 5166=(5.63)16=(1080)16

  b=1(1080)16=(1080)=b-16

3x+2y=loga(a2)54=52                 ...(i)

2x-y=logab-3=-3                         ...(ii)

On solving (i) & (ii) we get,

x=-12,  y=24x+5y=8
