If $${\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^3}{\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^{ - 6}} = {\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^{2x - 1}}$$     then x is equal to ?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{ }}{\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^3}{\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^{ - 6}} = {\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^{2x - 1}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{ }}{\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^{\left( {3 - 6} \right)}} = {\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^{2x - 1}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{ }}{\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^{ - 3}} = {\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)^{2x - 1}} \cr & \Rightarrow 2x - 1 = - 3 \cr & \Rightarrow 2x = - 2 \cr & \Rightarrow x = - 1 \cr} $$
