If 3(x+y) = 81 and 81(x-y) = 3, then the value of x is = ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& {{\text{3}}^{x + y}}{\text{ = 81}} \cr
& {{\text{3}}^{x + y}}{\text{ = }}{{\text{3}}^4} \cr
& x + y = 4.....(i) \cr
& {\text{8}}{{\text{1}}^{x - y}}{\text{ = 3}} \cr
& {3^{4x - 4y}}{\text{ = }}{{\text{3}}^1} \cr
& 4x - 4y{\text{ = 1}}....{\text{(ii)}} \cr
& {\text{From equation (i) and (ii)}} \cr
& 4x - 4y = 1 \cr
& 4x + 4y = 16 \cr
& 8x = 17 \cr
& x = \frac{{17}}{8} \cr} $$
