        If\[1,{{\log }_{3}}\sqrt{({{3}^{1-x}}+2)},{{\log }_{3}}({{4.3}^{x}}-1)\]are in A.P, then\[x\]equals:

    A)  \[lo{{g}_{3}}4\]                               

    B)  \[1-lo{{g}_{3}}4\]

    C)  \[1-lo{{g}_{4}}3\]           

    D)  \[lo{{g}_{4}}3\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[1,{{\log }_{3}}\sqrt{{{3}^{1-x}}+2},{{\log }_{3}}({{4.3}^{x}}-1)\]are in A.P. \[2{{\log }_{3}}{{({{3}^{1-x}}+2)}^{\frac{1}{2}}}=1+{{\log }_{3}}({{4.3}^{x}}-1)\] \[{{\log }_{3}}({{3}^{1-x}}+2)={{\log }_{3}}3+{{\log }_{3}}({{4.3}^{x}}-1)\] \[{{\log }_{3}}({{3}^{1-x}}+2)={{\log }_{3}}[3({{4.3}^{x}}-1)]\] \[{{3}^{1-x}}+2=3({{4.3}^{x}}-1)\] \[{{3.3}^{-x}}+2={{12.3}^{x}}-3\] Let \[{{3}^{x}}=t\]                 \[\frac{3}{t}+2=12t-3\]                 \[3+2t=12{{t}^{2}}-3t\] \[12{{t}^{2}}-5t-3=0\]                 \[(12{{t}^{2}}-9t+4t-3)=0\] \[3t(4t-2)+1(4t-3)=0\]                 \[t=-\frac{1}{3},\frac{3}{4}\]                 \[{{3}^{x}}=\frac{3}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x={{\log }_{3}}\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)={{\log }_{3}}3-{{\log }_{3}}4\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=1-{{\log }_{3}}4\]
