Question

Answer

To solve the given equation, we'll use the properties of logarithms.

Given equation: 2[log(x * y) - log 5] = log x * log y

We can simplify the equation step by step:

1. Distribute the 2 on the left side:
2 * log(x * y) - 2 * log 5 = log x * log y

2. Apply the quotient rule of logarithms on the left side:
log((x * y)^2) - 2 * log 5 = log x * log y

3. Simplify the left side using the power rule of logarithms:
log(x^2 * y^2) - 2 * log 5 = log x * log y

4. Apply the logarithmic identity log a - log b = log(a/b) on the left side:
log((x^2 * y^2) / 5^2) = log x * log y

5. Since the logarithms are equal, we can equate the arguments:
(x^2 * y^2) / 25 = x * y

6. Multiply both sides of the equation by 25:
x^2 * y^2 = 25 * x * y

Now, we need to find the value of x^2 * y^2.

To solve this, let's assume x = 5 and y = 1:

x^2 * y^2 = 5^2 * 1^2 = 25 * 1 = 25

Therefore, the value of x^2 * y^2 is 25.

Since option C states 2 * 5 - xy, we can simplify it:
2 * 5 - xy = 10 - xy

If we substitute x = 5 and y = 1 in this equation, we get:
10 - xy = 10 - 5 * 1 = 10 - 5 = 5

Hence, option C (2 * 5 - xy) is equal to 5, which matches the value of x^2 * y^2 we found earlier.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 2 * 5 - xy.

Answer

2[log(x+y)-log5]=logx+logy= 2log(x+y)/5=logxy =log{(x+y)/5}^2=logxy ={(x+y)/5}^2=xy =(x+y)^2=25xy= x*x+y*y+2xy=25xy= x*x+y*y=23xy
