Q22 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2022 (Paper 2) · Mathematics

The product of all positive real values of x satisfying the equation x16log5x3-68log5x=5-16 is

Correct answer: 1

Solution

Taking log to the base 5 on both sides

16log5x3-68log5xlog5x=-16

Let log5x=t

16t4-68t2+16=0

⇒4t4-16t2-t2+4=0

⇒4t2-1t2-4=0

⇒t=±12,±2

So log5x=±12 or ±2

⇒x=512, 5-12, 52, 5-2

Hence, the product is 5×15×25×125=1

Hence, the correct answer is 1.
