Question 6
If $$16^{x}=\frac{64}{256^{y}}$$ and $$9^{x}=\frac{9}{3^{y}}$$, then the values of x and y are respectively,
Solution
From the first equation: $$16^x\cdot256^y=64$$ ==> $$4^{2x}\cdot4^{4y}=4^3$$
Comparing powers: 2x + 4y = 3 .....(A)
From second equation: $$3^{2x+y}=3^2$$
Comparing powers: 2x + y = 2 ......(B)
Solving A and B, we get option C as answer
