B) 6

C) 7

D) 8

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • [c] $ {{( \frac{3}{4} )}^{6x+10-x^{2}}}<\frac{27}{64} $
    $ \Rightarrow {{( \frac{3}{4} )}^{6x+10-x^{2}}}<{{( \frac{3}{4} )}^{3}} $
    $ \Rightarrow 6x+10-x^{2}>3 $ (as base (3/4)<1)
    $ \therefore ,x^{2}-6x-7<0,\therefore ,(x+1)(x-7)<0 $ Thus, integral values of x are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
