View full question & answer→Correct option: B.
$6$
$\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^4 \times\left(\frac{13}{12}\right)^{-8}=\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2 x}$
$\Rightarrow \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^4 \times\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^8=\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2 x}$
$\Rightarrow \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{4+8}=\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2 x} $
$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{12}=\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2 x}$
Comparing, $ 2 x=12 $
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{12}{2}=6$
$\therefore x=6$
$\Rightarrow \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^4 \times\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^8=\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2 x}$
$\Rightarrow \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{4+8}=\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2 x} $
$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{12}=\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2 x}$
Comparing, $ 2 x=12 $
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{12}{2}=6$
$\therefore x=6$
