Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

The inverse of $y = {5^{\log x}}$ is :

  1. A $x = {5^{\log y}}$
  2. B $x = {y^{{1 \over {\log 5}}}}$ Correct answer
  3. C $x = {5^{{1 \over {\log y}}}}$
  4. D $x = {y^{\log 5}}$

Solution

$y = {5^{\log x}}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow \log y = \log x.log5$<br><br>$\Rightarrow \log x = {{\log y} \over {\log 5}} = {\log _5}y$<br><br>$\Rightarrow x = {e^{{{\log }_5}y}}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow x = {y^{{{\log }_5}e}}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow x = {y^{{1 \over {\log 5}}}}$
