Answer Key
1. (A) x ∈ (–1, 1)
log3|2x – 7| = 1 –1 < x < 1
 |2x – 7| = 3 4. (D)
 2x – 7 = ± 3 Let x = 0.d25d25d25
 2x = 4 and 2x = 10 1000x = d25.d25d25
 x = 2 and x = 5 On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
 x1= 2, x2 = 5 999x = d25  x =

n is integer.
d25 is a multiple of 37.
When, put d = 9
Then, n is multiple of 37.

ab is minimum.
When b − a = 33 and b + a = 61
On solving, we get a = 14 and b = 47
 Minimum value of ab = 14  47 = 658
