If $${\log _{10}}5 + {\log _{10}}\left( {5x + 1} \right)$$     = $${\log _{10}}$$ $$\left( {x + 5} \right)$$ $$\, + $$ $$1,$$ then x is equal to :

A. 1

B. 3

C. 5

D. 10

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow {\log _{10}}5 + {\log _{10}}\left( {5x + 1} \right) = {\log _{10}}\left( {x + 5} \right) + 1 \cr & \Rightarrow {\log _{10}}\left[ {5\left( {5x + 1} \right)} \right] = {\log _{10}}\left[ {10\left( {x + 5} \right)} \right] \cr & \Rightarrow 5\left( {5x + 1} \right) = 10\left( {x + 5} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow 5x + 1 = 2x + 10 \cr & \Rightarrow 3x = 9 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 3 \cr} $$
