    If the third term in the expansion of \[{{[x+{{x}^{{{\log }_{\,10}}\,x}}]}^{5}}\] is \[{{10}^{6}}\], then x may be

    A) 1

    B) \[\sqrt{10}\]

    C) 10

    D) \[{{10}^{-2/5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Put \[{{\log }_{10}}x=y\], the given expansion becomes \[{{(x+{{x}^{y}})}^{5}}\]. \[{{T}_{3}}={{\,}^{5}}{{C}_{2}}\,.\,\,{{x}^{3}}{{({{x}^{y}})}^{2}}=10{{x}^{3+2y}}={{10}^{6}}(given)\] \[\Rightarrow (3+2y)lo{{g}_{10}}x=5\,{{\log }_{10}}10=5\] \[\Rightarrow (3+2y)y=5\] \[\Rightarrow y=1,-\frac{5}{2}\Rightarrow {{\log }_{10}}x=1\] or \[{{\log }_{10}}x=-\frac{5}{2}\] \[\therefore \,x=10\] or \[x={{(10)}^{-5/2}}\]
