If ${\log _k}x.\,{\log _5}k = {\log _x}5,k \ne 1,k > 0,$ then $x$ is equal to

A

$k$

B

${1 \over 5}$

C

$5$

D

$(b)$ and $(c)$ both

Solution

(d) ${\log _k}x.{\log _5}k = {\log _x}5$ $ \Rightarrow $ ${\log _5}x = {\log _x}5$

$ \Rightarrow $ ${\log _x}5 = {1 \over {{{\log }_x}5}}$ $\Rightarrow $ $1 = – 2B = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ ${\log _x}5 = \pm 1$

$ \Rightarrow $ ${x^{ \pm \,1}} = 5$ $ \Rightarrow $ $x = 5,\,{1 \over 5}$.
