Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

If the sum of the first 20 terms of the series
$${\log _{\left( {{7^{1/2}}} \right)}}x + {\log _{\left( {{7^{1/3}}} \right)}}x + {\log _{\left( {{7^{1/4}}} \right)}}x + ...$$ is 460,
then x is equal to :

  1. A e<sup>2</sup>
  2. B 7<sup>1/2</sup>
  3. C 7<sup>2</sup> Correct answer
  4. D 7<sup>46/21</sup>

Solution

460 = log<sub>7</sub> <sup>x</sup>·(2 + 3 + 4 + ..... + 20 + 21) <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ 460 = log<sub>7</sub> <sup>x</sup>. $\left( {{{21 \times 22} \over 2} - 1} \right)$ <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ 460 = 230. log<sub>7</sub> <sup>x</sup> <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ log<sub>7</sub> <sup>x</sup> = 2 <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ x = 49
