1. (1) log4 (x − 1)= log2 (x − 3)

1
⇒ 2
log2 (x − 1)= log2 (x − 3)
1/2
⇒ log2 (x − 1) = log2 (x − 3)
1/2
⇒ (x − 1) =x−3
⇒ x − 1 = x2 + 9 − 6x
⇒ x2 − 7x + 10 = 0
⇒(x − 2)(x − 5)= 0
⇒ x = 2, 5
But x ≠ 2 because it is not satisfying the domain of given equation i.e log2 (x − 3)→ its domain x > 3 finally x is
5
∴ No. of solutions = 1.

ln ( a )
Given equation: (2a) = (bc)ln ( b )
⇒ ln(a)⋅(ln(2a))= ln(b)⋅ ln(bc)
⇒ ln(a)⋅(ln(2)+ ln(a))= ln(b)⋅(ln(b)+ ln(c))
let ln(a)= x, ln(b)= y, ln(c)= z, x ≠ y ≠ z
⇒ x(ln(2)+x)= y(y + z)
⇒ x ln(2)= y 2 − x2 + yz ........(i)
Similarly, from second equation
ln(2)⋅ ln(b)= ln(c)⋅ ln(a)
xz
⇒ ln(2)= y ......(ii)
Substitute eq(ii) in eq(i),
We get,
⇒ y 3 − yx2 + y 2 z = x2 z
⇒ y 2 (y + z)−x2 (y + z)= 0
⇒(y 2 − x2 )(y + z)= 0
⇒(x − y)(x + y)(y + z)= 0
∵ x ≠ y ⇒(x + y)(y + z)= 0
Now x = −y, y = −z and x = z
xz
But ln(2)= y
x(x)
⇒ ln(2)= −x
⇒ ln(2)= − ln(a)

⇒ y = −z
⇒ ln(b)= − ln(c)
⇒ bc = 1
Now 6a + 5bc = 6( 12 )+5(1)= 8
Hence this is the required answer.

3. (4)
Given, x + 1 − 2 log2 (3 + 2x )+2 log4 (10 − 2−x )= 0

9+ ( 2x ) 2 +6.2x
2
⇒ 2(10. 2x − 1)= 9 + (2x ) + 6. 2x
⇒ (2x )2 − 14. 2x + 11 = 0
Let 2x = y
⇒ y 2 − 14y + 11 = 0
Let roots are y1 = 2x1 & y2 = 2x2
Product of roots, y1 y2 = 2x1 × 2x2 = 2x1 +x2 = 11
⇒ log 2x1 +x2 = log 11
⇒(x1 + x2 )log 2 = log 11
log 11
⇒ x1 + x2 = log 2
Hence, x1 + x2 = log2 11
4. (1)
We have,
2
log(x+1) (2x2 + 7x + 5)+ log(2x+5) (x + 1) − 4 = 0, x > 0
⇒ log ( x+1 ) (2x + 5)(x + 1)+2 log ( 2x+1 ) (x + 1)= 4
⇒ log ( x+1 ) (2x + 5)+ log ( x+1 ) (x + 1)+2 log ( 2x+1 ) (x + 1)= 4
⇒ log ( x+1 ) (2x + 5)+1 + 2 log ( 2x+1 ) (x + 1)= 4

⇒ log ( x+1 ) (2x + 5)+ log ( 2x+5 )
=3
( x+1 )

Put log(x+1) (2x + 5) = t, then

2
t+ t
=3
⇒ t2 − 3t + 2=0
⇒ t = 1, 2
Then,
log(x+1) (2x + 5) = 1 and log(x+1) (2x + 5) = 2
2
⇒ 2x + 5 = x + 1 and 2x + 5 = (x + 1)
x = −4 (rejected) as x > 0
And,
2x + 5 = (x + 1)2
⇒ x2 = 4
⇒ x = 2, −2 (rejected)
So, x = 2
Number of solution is 1.

⇒( lncos x )+4( lnsin x )−4 = 0

lnsin x lncos x

2 2
⇒ (lnsin x) − 4(lnsin x)(lncos x) + 4(lncos x) = 0
⇒ (lnsin x − 2 lncos x)2 = 0
⇒ lnsin x = 2 lncos x
⇒ lnsin x = lncos2 x
⇒ cos2 x = sin x
⇒ 1 − sin2 x = sin x
⇒ sin2 x + sin x − 1 = 0
−1+√5
⇒ sin x = 2
So, α = −1, β = 5
∴α+β=4

⇒ A =(−3, 1)
Now, B ={x ∈ R :|x − 1|≥ 2}
⇒ B = (−∞, −1] ∪ [3, ∞)
Now, B − A = (−∞, −3] ∪ [3, ∞)
⇒ B − A = R −(−3, 3)
So, option B is not true.

For First set A = {x ∈ R : |x − 2| > 1}

⇒ Value which A contains lies from x ∈(−∞, 1)∪(3, ∞)
For second set B ={x ∈ R : √x2 − 3 > 1}
