Given expression = 1/log60 3 + 1/log60 4 + 1/log60 5
= log60 (3 x 4 x 5)
= log60 60
= 1.

if log 2 = 0.30103 and log 3 = 0.4771, find the number of digits in (648)5.
  • a)
    15
  • b)
    14
  • c)
    13
  • d)
    12
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ishani Rane answered
log(648)^5 
= 5 log(648) 
= 5 log(81 x 8) 
= 5[log(81) + log(8)] 
=5 [log(34) + log(23)] 
=5[4log(3) + 3log(2)]
= 5[4 x 0.4771 + 3 x 0.30103] 
= 5(1.9084 + 0.90309) 
= 5 x 2.81149 
approx. = 14.05

ie, log(648)^5 = 14.05 (approx.)

ie, its characteristic = 14

Hence, number of digits in (648)5 = 14+1 = 15

If log 27 = 1.431, then the value of log 9 is:
  • a)
    0.934
  • b)
    0.945
  • c)
    0.954
  • d)
    0.958
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Log 27 = 1.431

 log (33 ) = 1.431

 3 log 3 = 1.431

 log 3 = 0.477

 log 9 = log(32 ) = 2 log 3 = (2 x 0.477) = 0.954.

if log 2 = 0.30103, the number of digits in 2128 is
  • a)
    38
  • b)
    39
  • c)
    40
  • d)
    41
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Milan Nair answered
log(2128) = 128log(2) = 128 × 0.30103 ≈ 38.4

ie, its characteristic = 38

Hence, number of digits in 2128 = 38+1 = 39

Aarav Sharma answered
**Solution:**

To find the value of x in the given expression: log2 (3 - x) * log2 (1 - x) = 3, we can follow the steps below:

1. Simplify the expression:
- Using the product rule of logarithms, we can rewrite the expression as:
log2 ((3 - x) * (1 - x)) = 3
- Expanding the brackets, we get:
log2 (3 - x - 3x + x^2) = 3
- Simplifying further:
log2 (x^2 - 4x + 3) = 3

2. Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation:
- In general, if log2 (a) = b, then 2^b = a.
- Applying this to our equation, we have:
x^2 - 4x + 3 = 2^3
x^2 - 4x + 3 = 8
x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0

3. Solve the quadratic equation:
- Factoring the quadratic equation, we get:
(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0
- Setting each factor equal to zero and solving for x, we have:
x - 5 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
x = 5 or x = -1

4. Check for extraneous solutions:
- Substitute the values of x back into the original equation:
log2 (3 - x) * log2 (1 - x) = 3
For x = 5: log2 (3 - 5) * log2 (1 - 5) = 3
log2 (-2) * log2 (-4) = 3
Since the logarithm of a negative number or zero is undefined, x = 5 is an extraneous solution.
For x = -1: log2 (3 - (-1)) * log2 (1 - (-1)) = 3
log2 (4) * log2 (2) = 3
2 * 1 = 3
2 = 3
Since the equation is not satisfied, x = -1 is also an extraneous solution.

5. Final Answer:
- The correct value of x in the given expression is x = -1, which is option (c).

If log(64)= 1.806, log(16) = ?
  • a)
     1.204
  • b)
    0.903
  • c)
    1.806
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

log(64)= 1.806
=> log(4^3) = 1.806
=> 3log(4) = 1.806
⇒log(4) = 1.806/3
log(16) = log (4^2) = 2log(4) = 2*1.806/3 = 2*0.062 = 1.204 

 Find x If  logx = log 1.5 + log 12
  • a)
    12
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    18
  • d)
    15
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Solution:

Given, log x = log 1.5 + log 12

Using the property of logarithms, i.e., log a + log b = log ab, we can write

log x = log (1.5 × 12)

log x = log 18

Taking antilogarithm on both sides, we get

x = 18

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of logarithms. The given equation can be simplified by using the property of addition of logarithms.

We know that log a + log b = log (ab)

So, we can write log x = log (1.5 × 12)

Now, we need to simplify the expression on the right-hand side. We know that 1.5 × 12 = 18.

So, we can write log x = log 18.

To find the value of x, we need to take antilogarithm on both sides of the equation.

Antilogarithm of log 18 is equal to 18.

Therefore, the value of x is 18.

Final answer: The correct option is C.

If log 2 = 0.3010 and log 3 = 0.4771, What is the value of log51024?
  • a)
    4.31
  • b)
    3.88
  • c)
    3.91
  • d)
    2.97
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

log 5 1024= log1024/log5 = log ( 2^10)/log(10/2)=10log(2)/log10−log2
=10*0.3010/1−0.3010 = 3.01/0.699 = 3010/699 = 4.31

3 log 5 + 2 log 4 - log 2 = ?
  • a)
    4
  • b)
    3
  • c)
    200
  • d)
    1000
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Jaya Gupta answered
3 log 5 + 2 log 4 - log 2
= log 125 + log 16 - log 2
= log (125 x 16)/2
= log 1000 = 3.

If log10 2 = 0.3010, then log2 10 is equal to:
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
    0.3010
  • d)
    0.6990
Correct answer is 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aman Jha answered
Log10 2=1/log2 10 therefore 0.3010=1/log2 10 log2 10=1/0.3010 so log2 10 = 1000/301
