Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x = a^{\log_{b} c}\). Taking the logarithm with base \(b\) on both sides, we get: \(\log_{b} x = \log_{b} (a^{\log_{b} c})\) Using the property \(\log_{b} (m^n) = n \log_{b} m\), we have: \(\log_{b} x = (\log_{b} c) \times (\log_{b} a)\) Similarly, let…
