If log 2 = 0.30103, Find the number of digits in 256 is |
|
A. 17 |
|
B. 19 |
|
C. 23 |
|
D. 25 |
Solution |
Log( 256) | =(56×0.30103) |
= 16.85768. |
Its characteristics is 16. | |
Hence, the number of digits in 256 is 17. |

If ( log 5 5) (log 4 9) (log 3 2) is equal to |
|
A. 1 |
|
B. 3/2 |
|
C. 2 |
|
D. 5 |
Solution |
Given expression | =log 9/log 4 ×log 2/log 3 |
‹=› log 3²/log 2²×log 2/log 3 |
= 2 log 3/ 2 log 2×log 2/log3 |
= 1. |
|
Solution |
ax = by | = log ax= log by |
‹=› x log a = y log b |
‹=› log a / log b= y/x. |

log√ 8 / log 8 is equal to |
|
A. 1/√8 |
|
B. 1/4 |
|
C. 1/2 |
|
D. 1/8 |
Solution |
log√ 8 / log 8 | = log(8)1/2 / log 8 |
= 1/ 2 log 8 /log 8 |
= 1/ 2. |

|
A. 0 |
|
B. 1 |
|
C. abc |
|
D. a+b+c |
Solution |
Given expression | =(log a/log b×log b/log c ×log c/log a) |
= 1. |
