CAT 2020 Question Paper (Slot 3) Question 62

Question 62

If a,b,c are non-zero and $$14^a=36^b=84^c$$, then $$6b(\frac{1}{c}-\frac{1}{a})$$ is equal to


Correct Answer: 3

Solution

Let  $$14^a=36^b=84^c$$ = k

=> a = $$\log_{14}k$$ , b = $$\log_{36}k$$, c=$$\log_{84}k$$

$$6b(\frac{1}{c}-\frac{1}{a})$$ = $$6\cdot\frac{1}{2}\log_6k\left(\log_k84-\log_k14\right)$$ = 3
