Detailed Solution
The (r + 1)th term in the expansion of (a + x)n is Given by Tr+1=nCran−rxr.'. 3rd term in the expansion of 1+xlog2x5 is 5C2(1)5−2xlog2x2⇒ 5C2(1)5−2xlog2x2⇒ 2560⇒ 10xlog2x2=2560⇒ x2log2x=256⇒ log2x2log2x=log2256 (given) (taking Log2 on both sides) ⇒2log2xlog2x=8 ∵log2256=log228=8log2x2=4⇒log2x=±2⇒log2x=2 or log2x=−2⇒x=4 or x=2−2=14
