    If \[{{3}^{2x-y}}={{3}^{x+y}}=\sqrt{27},\] then the value of \[{{3}^{x-y}}\]will be                                                               [SSC (CPO) 2015]

    A) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{27}}\]               

    B) 3

    C) \[\sqrt{3}\]                    

    D) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{3}^{2x-y}}={{3}^{x+y}}=\sqrt{27}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{3}^{2x-y}}={{3}^{3/2}}\]
    Now,     \[2x-y=\frac{3}{2}\]                              ... (i)
    and       \[{{3}^{x+y}}={{3}^{3/2}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x+y=\frac{3}{2}\]                     ... (ii)
    On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
    \[3x=3\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=1\] and \[y=\frac{1}{2}\]
    Hence, \[{{3}^{x-y}}={{3}^{1-\frac{1}{2}}}={{3}^{1/2}}=\sqrt{3}\]
