If log⁡25[5log⁡3(1+log⁡3(1+2log⁡2x))]=12\log_{25} [5 \log_3 (1+\log_3(1+2\log_2x))] = \frac12 then xx is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

We start by simplifying the outer logarithm:

If log⁡25(y)=12\log_{25}(y) = \frac{1}{2}, then y=2512=5y = 25^{\frac12} = 5.

5log⁡3(1+log⁡3(1+2log⁡2x))=55 \log_3 (1+\log_3(1+2\log_2x)) = 5


Dividing both sides by 5:

log⁡3(1+log⁡3(1+2log⁡2x))=1\log_3 (1+\log_3(1+2\log_2x)) = 1

Since log⁡3(3)=1\log_3(3) = 1, we have:

1+log⁡3(1+2log⁡2x)=31+\log_3(1+2\log_2x) = 3

∴log⁡3(1+2log⁡2x)=2\therefore \log_3(1+2\log_2x) = 2


Since log⁡3(9)=2\log_3(9) = 2, we have:

1+2log⁡2x=91+2\log_2x = 9

Therefore: 2log⁡2x=82\log_2x = 8

So: log⁡2x=4\log_2x = 4


log⁡2x=4\log_2x = 4 means x=24=16x = 2^4 = 16

Therefore, x=16x = 16 is our answer.


Verification: Substituting x=16x = 16 back into the original equation confirms our answer.

Hence, option two: x=16x=16, is the correct answer
