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 »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 »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 »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 »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 »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
⇒$log_{10}$
