Correct answer: C

  1. Let a=x(11+log⁡10x)=x12(1+log⁡10x)a=\sqrt{x^{\left(\frac{1}{1+\log_{10}x}\right)}}=x^{\frac{1}{2(1+\log_{10}x)}}a=x(1+log10​x1​)​=x2(1+log10​x)1​ and b=x1/12.b=x^{1/12}.b=x1/12.

Then the given expression is (a+b)6.(a+b)^6.(a+b)6.

  1. The 4th term in the expansion of (a+b)6(a+b)^6(a+b)6 is T4=(63)a6−3b3=(63)a3b3.T_4=\binom{6}{3}a^{6-3}b^3=\binom{6}{3}a^3b^3.T4​=(36​)a6−3b3=(36​)a3b3. Since (63)=20\binom{6}{3}=20(36​)=20, T4=20a3b3.T_4=20a^3b^3.T4​=20a3b3.

  2. Compute a3a^3a3 and b3b^3b3: a3=(x12(1+log⁡10x))3=x32(1+log⁡10x),a^3=\left(x^{\frac{1}{2(1+\log_{10}x)}}\right)^3=x^{\frac{3}{2(1+\log_{10}x)}},a3=(x2(1+log10​x)1​)3=x2(1+log10​x)3​, b3=(x1/12)3=x1/4.b^3=\left(x^{1/12}\right)^3=x^{1/4}.b3=(x1/12)3=x1/4. Hence, T4=20x32(1+log⁡10x)+14.T_4=20x^{\frac{3}{2(1+\log_{10}x)}+\frac14}.T4​=20x2(1+log10​x)3​+41​.

Given T4=200T_4=200T4​=200, 20x32(1+log⁡10x)+14=20020x^{\frac{3}{2(1+\log_{10}x)}+\frac14}=20020x2(1+log10​x)3​+41​=200 which gives x32(1+log⁡10x)+14=10.x^{\frac{3}{2(1+\log_{10}x)}+\frac14}=10.x2(1+log10​x)3​+41​=10.

  1. Put y=log⁡10x.y=\log_{10}x.y=log10​x. Then x=10yx=10^yx=10y with y>0y>0y>0 since x>1x>1x>1.

Now, x32(1+y)+14=10x^{\frac{3}{2(1+y)}+\frac14}=10x2(1+y)3​+41​=10 becomes (10y)32(1+y)+14=10.(10^y)^{\frac{3}{2(1+y)}+\frac14}=10.(10y)2(1+y)3​+41​=10. So, 10y(32(1+y)+14)=10.10^{y\left(\frac{3}{2(1+y)}+\frac14\right)}=10.10y(2(1+y)3​+41​)=10. Therefore, y(32(1+y)+14)=1.y\left(\frac{3}{2(1+y)}+\frac14\right)=1.y(2(1+y)3​+41​)=1.

  1. Solve this equation: 3y2(1+y)+y4=1.\frac{3y}{2(1+y)}+\frac{y}{4}=1.2(1+y)3y​+4y​=1. Multiply by 4(1+y)4(1+y)4(1+y): 6y+y(1+y)=4(1+y).6y+y(1+y)=4(1+y).6y+y(1+y)=4(1+y). 6y+y+y2=4+4y6y+y+y^2=4+4y6y+y+y2=4+4y y2+3y−4=0.y^2+3y-4=0.y2+3y−4=0. Factorizing, (y−1)(y+4)=0.(y-1)(y+4)=0.(y−1)(y+4)=0. So, y=1ory=−4.y=1 \quad \text{or} \quad y=-4.y=1ory=−4. Since y>0y>0y>0, we take y=1.y=1.y=1.

  2. Thus log⁡10x=1  ⟹  x=10.\log_{10}x=1 \implies x=10.log10​x=1⟹x=10.

  3. Check with options: this is Option C.
