    If \[{{\log }_{2x}}1944={{\log }_{x}}486\sqrt{2}\], and \[{{x}^{6}}={{2}^{a}}{{.3}^{b}}\], then \[a+b\] is equal to

    A) 24

    B) 26      

    C) 28

    D) 30

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have, \[{{\log }_{2x}}1944={{\log }_{x}}486\sqrt{2}\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{{{\log }_{2}}1944}{{{\log }_{2}}2+{{\log }_{2}}x}=\frac{{{\log }_{2}}486\sqrt{2}}{{{\log }_{2}}x}\]\[\Rightarrow {{\log }_{2}}x.{{\log }_{2}}1944={{\log }_{2}}486\sqrt{2}\left( 1+{{\log }_{2}}x \right)\]
    \[\Rightarrow {{\log }_{2}}x({{\log }_{2}}1944-{{\log }_{2}}486\sqrt{2})\]\[={{\log }_{2}}486\sqrt{2}\]\[\Rightarrow {{\log }_{2}}x\left( {{\log }_{2}}\frac{1944}{486\sqrt{2}} \right)={{\log }_{2}}486\sqrt{2}\]\[\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{\log }_{2}}x{{\log }_{2}}2\sqrt{2}={{\log }_{2}}486\sqrt{2}\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2}{{\log }_{2}}x={{\log }_{2}}486\sqrt{2}\]\[\Rightarrow {{\log }_{2}}{{x}^{3/2}}={{\log }_{2}}486\sqrt{2}\]\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{3/2}}=486\sqrt{2}\]\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{6}}={{2}^{6}}\times {{3}^{20}}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,a=6,b=20\]
    \[a+b=26\]
