a. 6
b. 8
c. 16
d. 32
View solution

Correct Option: (a)

We have to simplify the given expression, which means in exponential form. Remember the tricks discussed
above.
Hint:
Logarithm form: logb (x) = y
Exponential form: by = x

Given: log2 64
Let the solution of log2 64 be y.
Log2 64 = y
2y = 64
26 = 64
Therefore, y = 6

Therefore,
y=-4

Q 3. 49log74

a. 7
b. 14
c. 16
d. 18
View solution

Correct Option: (c)

Hint:
alogax = x, here the base of logax and number which is based to logax are same. i.e. a

Therefore, in the given expression

49log74 = (72)log74

loga(xp) = p(logax)

Carefully understand the simplification done using the properties of logarithm.

(7 2) log74 = (7) (log74)2 = (7) log7(4 2)

We know that, alogax = x

Hence, (7) log7(42) = 42 = 16

logab (abc) logbc(abc) logac(abc)

logabc(ab) + logabc(bc) + logabc(ac)

Now use the product rule:

logaxy = logax + logay

logabc(ab × bc × ac) = logabc(abc) 2

= 2 logabc(abc)

We know that, logxx = 1

Therefore,
2 logabc(abc) = 2 × 1 = 2

Correct Option: (b)

The given expression is given in logarithmic form. To find the value of x, convert this expression in exponential
form.

Hint:
If Logarithm form is logb (x) = y, then Exponential form is by = x
4 10
Logarithmic form = log8x = 2 =
3 3

Therefore,
Exponential form = (8)(10/3) = x
= (2(3/2))(10/3) = 2((3/2) × (10/3)) = 25 = 32

Q 8. Find the value of x which satisfies the given expression [log10 2 + log (4x + 1) = log (x + 2) + 1]

a. 6
b. 7
c. - 6
d. - 9
View solution

Correct Option: (d)

Hint:
If base is not mentioned, then always remember to take it as 10.
Hence, in the given expression, assume base as 10
We are given, [log10 2 + log10 (4x + 1) = log10 (x + 2) + 1]
[log10 2 + log10 (4x + 1) = log10 (x + 2) + 1]
[log10 2 + log10 (4x + 1) = log10 (x + 2) + log1010]
Now, Use the product rule: loga(xy) = logax + logay
[log10 2 (4x + 1)] = [log10 10(x + 2)]
(4x + 1) = (5x + 10)

answer with explanation
Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Logbb = 1. Hence log55 = 1

Logb1 = 0. Hence log51 = 0

log(a × b) = log a + log b

similarly, log(a × b × c) = log a + log b + log c
Hence log(2×4×6) = log 2 + log 4 + log 6

log(3+4) = log(3 × 4) is wrong

LHS = log(3+4) = log 7
RHS = log(3 × 4) = log(12)
log 7 ≠ log 12

Notebook
answer with explanation
Answer: Option A

Explanation:

log(648)5
= 5 log(648)
= 5 log(81 × 8)
= 5[log(81) + log(8)]
=5 [log(34) + log(23)]
=5[4log(3) + 3log(2)]
= 5[4 × 0.4771 + 3 × 0.30103]
= 5(1.9084 + 0.90309)
= 5 × 2.81149
≈ 14.05

ie, log(648)5 ≈ 14.05

ie, its characteristic = 14

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

Explanation:

log10 5 + log10 (5x+1) = log10 (x+5) + 1

=> log10 5 + log10 (5x+1) = log10 (x+5) + log10 10
=> log10 [5(5x+1)] = log10 [10(x+5)]
=> 5(5x+1) = 10(x+5)

Op 1: It will double every second

Op 2: It will triple every second

Op 3: It increases by a constant amount every second.

Op 4: None of these

Op 5:
Answer

Correct Op : 3

SOLUTION
Let y = log(2) x
and let x change from x1 to x2.
If the corresponding values of y are y1 and y2
=> y1 = log(2) x1
and y2 = log(2) x2
Change in y = y2 - y1
= log(2) x2 - log(2) x1
= log(2) (x2/x1)
= log(2) 3 [ as per the question x2 = 3x1 ]
= a constant quantity

Correct Op : 2

Ques 7. If 7x = 85, what is the value of x?

Op 1: log785
Op 2: log857
Op 3: log107
Op 4: log1085

Correct Op : 1

Ques 8. If log102 = 0.3010, what is the number of digits in 264

Op 1: 19

Op 2: 20

Op 3: 18

Op 4: None of these

Correct Op : 2

Solution:

log(264) = 64 x log 2

= (64 x 0.30103)

= 19.26592

Its characteristic is 19.

Hence, then number of digits in 264 is 20.

Ques 8. What is log110?

Op 1: 1

Op 2: 10

Op 3: 0

Op 4: Tends to infinity

Op 5:

Correct Op : 4
Solution:
Base 1 logarithms don't exist. If there were such a value as log[1](10), then it would (by definition of a log) be
the unique solution to:

1^x = 10

But this has no solution, so log[1](10) does not exist.

Alternatively, you can think of it in terms of the change-of-base formula. So, by the formula:

log[1](10) = ln(10) / ln(1) = ln(10) / 0

which doesn't exist

Ques 9. What is log100 ?

Op 1: 0

Op 2: 10

Op 3: 1

Op 4: Not defined

Op 5:

Correct Op : 4
Solution:

As the graph for y=logx will approach but never reach x=0, the value for log0 is undefined. However, it does
APPROACH negative infinity

Ques 10. What is the value of log3 (-9)?

Op 1: 3

Op 2: 1/3

Op 3: -3

Op 4: Not defined

Op 5:

Correct Op : 4
Solution:
log3 (-9)
Split -9 into 9*(-1).
=> log3(9)(-1)
=>log3(3^2)(-1)
Logarithmic rule says the power inside the bracket will come in front of log.
=> 2log3(3)(-1)
Another logarithmic rule says that when the base and the number are same then the log term cancels out.
=> 2(-1)
=> -2.

Thus , the ans is -2.

Ques 11. Rajeev multiplies a number by 10, the log (to base 10) of this number will change in what way?
Op 1: Increase by 10

Op 2: Increase by 1 Op 3: Multiplied by 10 Op 4: None of these Op 5:

Correct Op : 2

Ques 12. The logarithm of a very small positive number will tend to which of the following?
Op 1: 0

Op2:negativeinfiniyOp3:positiveinfinity Op 4: 1

Op 5:

Correct Op : 2

Ques 13. If n numbers are in geometric progression, the logarithm of the number will be in which of the
following? Op 1: Geometric Progression

Op 2: Arithmetic Progression

Op 3: Harmonic Progression Op 4: None of these

Op 5:

Correct Op : 2
Ques 14. Which of the following is equivalent to log(a + b) ?

Op 1: log a + log b

Op 2: log a * log b

Op 3: log a - log b

Op 4: None of these

Op 5:

Correct Op : 4
Solution:

There are five rules for logarithms:

First: log a + log b = log (ab)

Example: log 2 + log 3 = log (2 times 3)
log 2 + log 3 = log 6
It is not equivalent to (log 2)(log 3) or (log 5)
Look at those brackets carefully.

Second: log a - log b = log (a/b)

Example: log 6 - log 2 = log (6/2)
log 6 - log 2 = log 3

log 1 = 0

log 0 = undefined

log (base a) a = 1
