Sol : Option B
We have log9 59049 = log9 95 = 5 × log9 9 = 5 × 1 = 5.
Q.2. . If log 2 = 03.301 and log 3 = 0.4771, find the value of log3 725 if (!function_exists('curPageURLAds')) { function curPageURLAds() {$pageURL = 'http';if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";} $pageURL .= "://";if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];} else { $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];} return $pageURL;} } $pageURL = curPageURLAds(); $TOP_AD = array("https://www.hitbullseye.com/Quant/Arithmetic-Geometric-Harmonic-Progressions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Vocab/One-Word-Substitute-List.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Coding-and-Decoding-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/daily-vocabulary-words.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Probability-Examples.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Problems-on-Ages.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Difficult-Syllogism-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Vocab/List-of-Synonyms.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/puzzle/logical-puzzle-questions-with-answers.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Time-and-Work-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Speed-Distance-Time-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Simplification-Examples.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Subject-Verb-Agreement-Exercise.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Reading-Comprehension-Practice.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Seating-Arrangement-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/HCF-and-LCM-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Blood-Relation-Questions-with-Answers.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Reasoning/Painted-Cube-Problem-Formula.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Coding-Decoding-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Percentage-Practice-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Alphabetical-Series-Reasoning-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Profit-Loss.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Adjectives-Exercises.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Odd-One-Out-Questions-with-Answers.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Reasoning-Questions-Seating-Arrangement.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Number-Series-Questions.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Profit-and-loss-Problems.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Time-and-Work-Problems.php", "https://www.hitbullseye.com/Quant/Compound-Interest-Problems.php", ); if (in_array($pageURL, $TOP_AD)) { // { // echo "

A. 19.46
B. 18.96
C. 21.54
D. 14.48
Sol : Option A
Q.3. If x, y and z are the sides of a right angled triangle, where ‘z’ is the hypotenuse, then find the value of (1/logx+zy) + (1/logx-zy)
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Sol : Option B
Here x, y and z are the sides of a right angled triangle, so z2 = x2 + y2.
Q.4. Find the value of log2 2 + log2 22 + log2 23 + ........ + log2 2n.
A. n(n+1)/2
B. n+1
C. n
D. 2n
Sol : Option A
log2 2 + log2 22 + log2 23 + ........ + log2 2n
log2 2 + 2log2 2 + 3log2 2 + ........ + nlog2 2
1+2+3+........+n
n(n+1)/2
Q.5. If log5 16, log5 (3x-4), log5 (3x+97/16) are in arithmetic progression, then x is
A. 8
B. 1
C. 5
D. 3
Sol : Option B
log5 16, log5 (3x-4), log5 (3x+97/16) are in arithmetic progression
Q.6. If ‘x’ is an integer then solve (log2 x) 2 – log2 x4 - 32 = 0.
A. 125
B. 256
C. 375
D. None of these
Sol : Option B
We have (log2 x) 2 – log2 x4 - 32 = 0.
⇒ (log2 x) 2 – 4log2 x - 32 = 0......(1)
Let log2 x = y
(i) ⇒ y2 – 4y – 32 = 0
⇒ y2 – 8y + 4y – 32 = 0
⇒ y (y – 8) + 4 (y – 8) = 0
⇒ (y – 8) (y + 4) = 0
⇒ y = 8, -4
⇒ log2 x = 8 or log2 x = - 4
⇒ x = 28 = 256 or x = 2-4 = 1/16
Since ‘x’ is an integer so x = 256.
Q.7. If log5y – logsub>5√y = 2 logy 5, then find the value of y.
A. 25
B. 35
C. 10
D. 15
Sol : Option A
We have log5y – logsub>5√y = 2 logy 5
Q8. If (1/4)log2x + 4log2y = 2 + log64-18 then
A. y16 = 64/x2
B. x16 = 64/y
C. y16 = 8/x4
D. y16 = 64/x
Sol : Option D
We have (1/4)log2x + 4log2y = 2 + log64-18

Q9. If log 2 = 0.301 and log 3 = 0.4771, find the number of digits in 4812.
A. 19
B. 21
C. 20
D. 24
Sol : Option B
We have log 4812 = 12 × log 48 = 12 × log (24 × 3)
= 12 × (4 log 2 + log 3)
= 12 × (4 × 0.301 + 0.4771)
= 12 × (1.204 + 0.4771)
= 12 × 1.6811 = 20.1732
Now the characteristic is 20, so the number of digits = 20 + 1 = 21.
Q10. If log3[log2 (x2 – 4x – 37)] = 1, where ‘x’ is a natural number, find the value of x.
A. 9
B. 7
C. 10
D. 4
Sol : Option A
We have log3[log2 (x2 – 4x – 37)] = 1
⇒ [log2 (x2 – 4x – 37)] = 3
⇒ x2 – 4x – 37 = 8
⇒ x2 – 4x – 45 = 0
⇒ (x – 9) (x + 5) = 0
⇒ x = 9, - 5
Since x is a natural number, so x = 9.
