For \(\mathrm{x} \geq 0\), the least value of \(\mathrm{K}\), for which \(4^{1+\mathrm{x}}+4^{1-\mathrm{x}}\), \(\frac{\mathrm{K}}{2}, 16^{\mathrm{x}}+16^{-\mathrm{x}}\) are three consecutive terms of an \(A.P.\) is equal to :

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(8\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{k}=4\left(4^{\mathrm{x}}+\frac{1}{4^{\mathrm{x}}}\right)+\left(4^{2 \mathrm{x}}+\frac{1}{4^{2 \mathrm{x}}}\right) \) \( \quad \geq 2 \quad \geq 2 \) \( \mathrm{k} \geq 10\)
