JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 8. sequence and series

If the sum of the first \(20\) terms of the series \(\log _{\left(7^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)} x+\log _{\left(7^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)} x+\log _{\left(7^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)} x+\ldots\) is \(460,\) then \(x\) is equal to

  1. A \(7^{\frac{46}{21}}\)
  2. B \(7^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
  3. C \(e ^{2}\)
  4. D \(49\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(49\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(460=\log _{7} x \cdot(2+3+4+\ldots .+20+21)\) \(\Rightarrow 460=\log _{7} x \cdot\left(\frac{21 \times 22}{2}-1\right)\) \(\Rightarrow 460=230 \cdot \log _{7} x\) \(\Rightarrow \log _{7} x=2 \Rightarrow x=49\)
