    The value of x in the given equation\[{{4}^{x}}-{{3}^{x\,\ -\ \frac{1}{2}}}={{3}^{x+\frac{1}{2}}}-{{2}^{2x-1}}\]is

    A) \[\frac{4}{3}\]

    B) \[\frac{3}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{2}{1}\]

    D) \[\frac{5}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Equation, \[{{4}^{x}}-{{3}^{x-\frac{1}{2}}}={{3}^{x+\frac{1}{2}}}-{{2}^{2x-1}}\] Þ \[{{2}^{2x}}+{{2}^{2x-1}}={{3}^{x+\frac{1}{2}}}+{{3}^{x-\frac{1}{2}}}\] Þ  \[{{2}^{2x}}\left( 1+\frac{1}{2} \right)={{3}^{x-\frac{1}{2}}}(1+3)\] Þ \[{{2}^{2x}}.\frac{3}{2}={{3}^{x-\frac{1}{2}}}.4\] Þ \[{{2}^{2x-3}}={{3}^{x-\frac{3}{2}}}\] Taking log both sides Þ \[(2x-3)\log 2=(x-3/2)\log 3\] Þ \[2x\log 2-3\log 2=x\log 3-\frac{3}{2}\log 3\] Þ \[x\log 4-x\log 3=3\log 2-\frac{3}{2}\log 3\] Þ \[x\log \left( \frac{4}{3} \right)=\log 8-\log 3\sqrt{3}\] Þ   \[{{\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)}^{x}}=\frac{8}{3\sqrt{3}}\] Þ \[{{\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)}^{x}}={{\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)}^{3/2}}\] \[\therefore \,\,x=\frac{3}{2}\] Trick: Cheak the equation with options then only option  satisfies the equation.
