MCQ
If ${\log _x}a,\;{a^{x/2}}$ and ${\log _b}x$ are in $G.P.$, then $x = $
  • A
    $ - \log ({\log _b}a)$
  • B
    $ - {\log _a}({\log _a}b)$
  • ${\log _a}({\log _e}a) - {\log _a}({\log _e}b)$
  • D
    ${\log _a}({\log _e}b) - {\log _a}({\log _e}a)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${\log _a}({\log _e}a) - {\log _a}({\log _e}b)$
c
(c) Obviously ${({a^{x/2}})^2} = {\log _x}a\;.\;{\log _b}x = {\log _b}a$

$ \Rightarrow $${a^x} = {\log _b}a$

$ \Rightarrow $$x = {\log _a}({\log _b}a)$

$ \Rightarrow $$x = {\log _a}\left( {\frac{{{{\log }_e}a}}{{{{\log }_e}b}}} \right) = {\log _a}({\log _e}a) - {\log _a}({\log _e}b)$.
