    Number of values of x for which\[\frac{{{8}^{x}}+{{27}^{x}}}{{{12}^{x}}+{{18}^{x}}}=\frac{7}{6}\] is-

    A) 2

    B) 3

    C) 1

    D) no value of x

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\frac{{{8}^{x}}+{{27}^{x}}}{{{12}^{x}}+{{18}^{x}}}=\frac{7}{6}\]
    \[\frac{{{(8)}^{x}}}{{{(12)}^{x}}}\frac{(1+{{(27/8)}^{x}})}{(1+{{(18/12)}^{x}})}=\frac{7}{6}\]\[\Rightarrow {{\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)}^{x}}\left( \frac{1+{{(3/2)}^{3x}}}{1+{{(3/2)}^{x}}} \right)=\frac{7}{6}\]
    \[\therefore \]let \[{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{x}}=t\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{1+{{t}^{3}}}{t\,(1+t)}=\frac{7}{6}\]                \[\because \,\,\,t+1\ne 0\]
    \[\frac{(1+t)({{t}^{2}}+1-t)}{t(1+t)}=\frac{7}{6}\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{{{t}^{2}}+1-t}{t}=\frac{7}{6}\]\[\Rightarrow t=\frac{2}{3}\,\,or\,\,\frac{3}{2}\]
