Answer

Given,

⇒ logx 64 = 1.5

⇒ 64 = x1.5

⇒ 64 = (x)0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5

⇒ 64 = x0.5.x0.5.x0.5

⇒ 64 = x×x×x\sqrt{x} \times \sqrt{x} \times \sqrt{x}

43=(x)34^3 = (\sqrt{x})^3

x=4\sqrt{x} = 4

Squaring both sides, we get :

(x)2=42(\sqrt{x})^2 = 4^2

⇒ x = 16.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
