If 5x = (0.125)y = 103z, then what is the relation between x, y and z, given that they are non-zero real numbers?
Explanation:
Let 5x = (0.125)y = 103z = k
Hence, 5 = k1/x
0.125 = k1/y and
10 = k1/3z
We know that 0.125 = (0.5)3 = (5/10)3
Hence, k1y = k1xk13z3=k3x-1z
⇒ 1y=3x-1z
⇒ 3x=1y+1z
Hence, option (b).
