Explanatory Answer

log45 = log4y × log6√5
log45 ÷ log4y = logy5 = log6√5 = k (Let’s assume this as k)
6k = √5 ---> On squaring this {6k}2 = 5

log45 = log4y × log6√5
logy5 = log6√5
logy5 = k
yk = 5

{6k}2 = yk = 5
{62}k = yk
36k = yk
y = 36.


The question is "If log4 5 = (log4 y) (log6 √5), then y equals"

Hence, the answer is, " 36"
