CAT 2021 Quant Question [Slot 1] with Solution 16

Question
If \(5 - {\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 + x} + 4{\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 - x} = {\log _{10}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}\), then 100x equals
Option: 99
Solution:
>\(5 - {\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 + x} + 4{\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 - x} = {\log _{10}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}\)
We can re-write the equation as: \(5 - {\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 + x} + 4{\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 - x} = {\log _{10}}{\left( {\sqrt {1 + x} \times \;\sqrt {1 - x} } \right)^{ - 1}}\)
\(5 - {\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 + x} + 4{\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 - x} = \left( { - 1} \right){\log _{10}}\left( {\sqrt {1 + x} } \right) + \left( { - 1} \right){\log _{10}}\left( {\sqrt {1 - x} } \right)\)
\(5 = - {\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 + x} + {\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 + x} - {\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 - x} - 4{\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 - x} \)
\(5 = - 5{\log _{10}}\sqrt {1 - x} \)
\(\sqrt {1 - x} = \frac{1}{{10}}\)
Squaring both sides: \({\left( {\sqrt {1 - x} } \right)^2} = \frac{1}{{100}}\)
\(\therefore \;\) \(x = 1 - \frac{1}{{100}} = \frac{{99}}{{100}}\)
Hence, \(100\;x\; = 100 \times \;\frac{{99}}{{100}} = 99\)
