JEE PYQ: Quadratic Equation Question 13

Question 13 - 2021 (26 Feb Shift 1)

The number of solutions of the equation $\log_4(x-1) = \log_2(x-3)$ is

Show Answer

Answer: (1)

Solution

$\frac{1}{2}\log_2(x-1) = \log_2(x-3)$

$x - 1 = (x-3)^2$

$x^2 - 6x + 9 = x - 1$

$x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0$

$x = 2, 5$

$X = 2$: Not possible as $\log_2(x-3)$ is not defined

$\Rightarrow$ No. of solution $= 1$
