    (a, b) and (c, d) are solutions of simultaneous equation \[5\left( lo{{g}_{y}}x\text{ }+\text{ }lo{{g}_{x}}y \right)=26,\] \[xy=64\] then \[a+b+c+d=\]

    A) 61                                

    B) 17   

    C) 68        

    D) 34

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [C]
    \[5\,\,({{\log }_{y}}x+{{\log }_{x}}y)=26,\] \[xy=64\]
    \[\Rightarrow 5\left( {{\log }_{y}}x+\frac{1}{{{\log }_{y}}x} \right)=26\]
    Put \[{{\log }_{y}}x=t\]
    \[\therefore 5\,\,({{t}^{2}}+1)=26t\]\[\Rightarrow 5{{t}^{2}}-26t+5=0\]\[\Rightarrow t=5,\,\,\frac{1}{5}\]
    \[\therefore {{\log }_{y}}x=5,\,\,\frac{1}{5}\]
    \[x={{y}^{5}},\] \[{{y}^{1/5}}\]
    But \[xy=64\] \[\Rightarrow {{y}^{5}}.y=64\] or \[{{y}^{1/5}}.y=64\]
    \[\therefore \,\,y=2\] or 32
    \[\therefore \] Solution set will be (32, 2) & (2, 32)
    \[\therefore \,\,a+b+c+d=32+2+2+32=68\]
