Question

If `(9/4)^x.(8/27)^(x - 1)  =  2/3` , then the value of `x`  is :


Options:
A .  1
B .  2
C .  3
D .  4
Answer: Option D

`(9/4)^x.(8/27)^(x - 1)  =  2/3`    `hArr`   ` 9^x/4^x xx  8^(x - 1)/(27)^(x - 1) = 2/3`

`hArr (3^2)^x/(2^2)^x xx((2^3)^(x - 1))/((3^3)^(x - 1))  =  2/3     hArr   (3^(2x) xx 2^(3(x- 1)))/(2^(2x) xx 3^(3(x - 1))) = 2/3`

`hArr  (2^((3x - 3 -2x)))/(3^((3x - 3 - 2x))) = 2/3     hArr  (2^((x-3)))/(3^((x- 3)))  = 2/3     hArr (2/3)^(x -3)`

=`(2/3)^1   hArr  x - 3 = 1    hArr  x  = 4.`
