Logarithm Model Questions Set 1

Question : 6

The sides of a triangle are 30 cm, 28 cm and 16 cm respectively. In order to determine its area, the logarithm of which of the quantities are required ?

a) 37, 21, 11, 9

b) 37, 11, 28, 16

c) 21, 30, 28, 7

d) 37, 21, 9, 7

Answer: (d)

Semiperimeter of triangle = ${30 + 16 + 28}/2$ = 37

P – a = 7

P – b = 9

P – c = 21

P = 37

∴ quantities that are required

= 37, 21, 9, 7

Question : 7

What is $log_{10} (3/2) + log_{10} (4/3) + log_{10} (5/4)$ + ..... upto 8 terms equal to?

a) $log_{10}5$

b) 0

c) 1

d) None of these

Answer: (a)

$log_{10}(3/2) + log_{10}(4/3) + log_{10}(5/4)+ ..... + 8^{th} term$

= $log_{10}(3/2) + log_{10}(4/3)+ log_{10}(5/4)+ ..... +log_{10}({10}/9)$

= $log_{10}(3/2 × 4/3 × 5/4 ×......× {10}/9)$

= $log_{10}({10}/2)log_{10} 5$.

Question : 8

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

a) 16

b) 18

c) 12

d) 24

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

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

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

or $x/6 = (8)^{1/3}$ {∵ $\text"log"_a$ b = x⇔(a)x=b}

or ${x/6} = (2^3)^{1/3}$ or x = 12

Question : 9

It is given that $log_{10} 2$ = 0.301 and $log_{10} 3 = 0.477.$ How many digits are there in $(108)^{10}$ ?

a) 21

b) 19

c) 20

d) 22

Answer: (a)

$log (108)^{10} = 10 log 108 = 10 log (2^2 × 3^3)$ = 10 (2log2 + 3log3)

= 10 (2 × 0.301 + 3 × 0.477 ) = 10 (.602 + 1.431)

= 10 × 2.033 = 20.33

integral part = 20

No. of digits = 20 + 1 = 21

Question : 10

What is the solution of $log_{10} [1- [1 - (1 - x^2)^{-1}]^{-1}]^{- 1/2}$ = 1 ?

a) x = 1

b) x = 100

c) x = 10

d) x = 0

Answer: (c)

$log_{10} [1 - [1 - (1 - x^2)^{-1}]^{-1}]^{-1/2}$ = 1

⇒$log_{10}[1 - [1 - 1/{1 - x^2}]^{-1}]^{-1/2}$ = 1

⇒$log_{10}[1 - [{- x^2}/{1 - x^2}]^{-1}]^{- 1/2}$ = 1

⇒$log_{10}[1 - {(1 - x^2)}/{- x^2}]^{-1/2}$ = 1

⇒$log_{10}[{-x^2 - (1 - x^2)}/{- x^2}]^{-1/2}$ = 1

⇒$log_{10}[1/{x^2}]^{-1/2}$ = 1

⇒$log_{10} x = log_{10}10$

x = 10

⇒$log_{10}$
