Solution

First equation can be written as
$l o g_{2} x + l o g_{2^{2}} y + l o g_{2^{2}} z = 2.$
or $l o g_{2} x + \frac{1}{2} l o g_{2} y + \frac{1}{2} l o g_{2} z = 2$
or $l o g_{2} \sqrt[x]{y z} = 2 o r \sqrt[x]{y z} = 2^{2} = 4$
or $x^{2}$ yz = 16.
similarly $y^{2}$ zx = 81
and $z^{2}$ xy = 256
The equations (1), (2) and (3) can now be easily solved. This is left for the students.
Ans. x = 2/3, y = 27/8, z = 32/3.
