Quantitative Aptitude Question on Logarithms

If x is a real number such that log3 5 = log5 (2 + x), then which of the following is true?

A

0 < x < 3

B

23 < x < 30

C

x > 30

D

3 < x < 23

Answer

3 < x < 23

Explanation

Solution

The correct answer is (D):
log35 = log5 (x + 2)
log33 < log3 5 < log39
1 < log35 < 2
So, 1 < log5 (x + 2) < 2
5 1 < x + 2 < 52
3 < x < 23
