Question :11

Let P, Q, R be the mid-points of sides AB, BC, CA respectively of a triangle ABC. If the area of the triangle ABC is 5 square units, then the area of the triangle PQR is

Answer: (a)

logarithms-aptitude-mcq

$PQ = 1/2 AC, QR = 1/2 AB, PR = 1/2 BC$

${AB}/{QR} = {BC}/{PR} = {CA}/{PQ} = 2/1$

${\text"area of ABC"}/{\text"area of PQR"} = (2/1)^2 = 4/1$

= in Δ ABC = 5 $cm^2$

as Δ PQR = $5/4 cm^2$

Question :12

What is the value of $(1/3 log_{10} 125 - 2 log_{10} 4 + log_{10} 32 + log_{10}1)$ ?

Answer: (a)

$1/3 log_{10} 125 – 2log_{10} 4 + log_{10}32 + log_{10}1$

= $1/3 log_{10}(5)^3 – 2log_{10}(2)^2 + log_{10}(2)^5$ + 0

= $log_{10}5 – 4log_{10}2 + 5log_{10}2$

= $log_{10}5 + log_{10}2 = log_{10} 5 × 2 = log_{10}$10 = 1

Question :13

If ${\text"log"_8} x + {\text"log"_8} = {1/6} = {1/3}$, then the value of x is

Answer: (c)

$\text"log"_8 x + \text"log"_8$ = $1/6 = 1/3$

⇒${\text"log"_8 }(x × {1/6}) = {1/3}⇒{\text"log"_8}(x/6) = 1/3$

⇒$(8)^{1/3} = x/6$ [∵ if $\text"log"_a$ y = x, then $(a)^x$ = y]

⇒$(2^3)^{1/3} = x/6$⇒x = 12

Question :14

If $log_{10} a = p and log_{10} b = q,$ then what is the value of $log_{10}(a^p p ^q)$?

Answer: (b)

Given that,

$log_{10} a = \text"p and" log_{10}$ b = q

$log_{10} (a^p b^q) = log_{10} a^p + log_{10} b^q$

= $p log_{10} a + q log_{10} b$

= p × p + q × q = $p^2 + q^2$

Question :15

How many digits are there in $(54)^{10}$ ? (Given that $log_{10}2 = 0.301$ and $log_{10}3 = 0.477$)

Answer: (c)

$log(54)^{10}$ = 10 log 54 =10[3log3 + log2]

= 10[1.431 + 0.301] = 17.32

∴ Number of digits = 17 + 1 = 18
