Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{aligned} &\log _{2}\left(2^{x-1}+6\right)+\log _{2}\left(4^{x-1}\right)=5 \\ &\left.\Rightarrow 2^{x-1}+6\right)\left(2^{2 x-2}\right)=2^{5} \end{aligned} \] Let \[ y=2^{x-1} \] \[ \Rightarrow \quad \cdot(y+6) y^{2}=2^{5} \]…
