Question:
if log(x+y/3) = 1/3 (log x + log y),then find the value of x/y + y/x
Answer:

Correct question is: 

If log[(x + y)/3] = 1/2(log x + log y), then find the value of x/y + y/x

Solution:

Given, log [( x + y)/3] = 1/2(log x + log y)

=> 2 * log[( x + y)/3] = log x + log y

=> log[( x + y)/3]2 = log xy

Removing log on both sides, we get

     [( x + y)/3]2 = xy

=> ( x + y )2 /32 = xy

=> (x2 + y2 + 2xy)/9 = xy

=> x2 + y2 + 2xy = 9xy

=> x2 + y2 = 9xy - 2xy

=> x2 + y2 = 7xy

Divide each term with xy, we get

     x2 / xy + y2 / xy = 7xy / xy

=> x/y + y/x = 7

So, the value of x/y + y/x is 7
