=(10)2a


y=(10000)b=[(10)4]b

z=(10)c=(10)c

Now, $\log \frac{10 \sqrt{y}}{x^{2} z^{3}}$

=(log 10+log √y)-(log x2+logz3)

$=\left(1+\log (y)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)-\left(\log (x)^{2}+\log (z)^{3}\right)$ [∵ log 10=1]

$=\left(1+\frac{1}{2} \log y\right)-(2 \log x+3 \log z)$

Substituting the value of x, y and z, we get

$=\left(1+\frac{1}{2} \log (10)^{4 b}\right)-\left(2 \log (10)^{2 a}+3 \log (10)^{c}\right)$

$=\left(1+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \mathrm{~b} \log 10\right)-(2 \times 2 a \log 10+3 \times c \log 10)$

$=\left(1+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \mathrm{~b} \times 1\right)-(2 \times 2 a \times 1+3 \times c \times 1)$ [∵log 10=1]

$=\frac{2}{5}(a)=\frac{2}{5} a$


(iii) x=(10)a=log10 5x

=log 2+(-log 3+log 3)-log 5+log 5-log 2$

=(log 2-log 2)+0+(log 5-log 5)

=0+0+0=0

Sol :

$x=\log \frac{3}{5}, y=\log \frac{5}{4}, z=2 \log \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

∴x=log 3-log 5

y=log 5-log 4

$z=\log \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^{2}=\log \frac{3}{4}$

=log 3-log 4

=$=\log _{10} 3+\log _{10} 4-\frac{1}{2} \log _{4} 4 \times 2 \log _{10} 3-\left(\log _{10} 4-\log _{10} 10\right)$

$=\log _{10} 3+\log _{10} 4-\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 2 \log _{10} 3-\log _{10} 4+1$

$=\log _{10} 3+\log _{10} 4-\log _{10} 3-\log _{10} 4+1$

⇒log n=2 log 10-log 25+log 27-log 36

⇒log n=log (10)2-log 25+log 27-log 36

⇒log n=log 100-log 25+log 27-log 36

⇒log n=(log 100+log 27)-(log 25+log 36)

⇒log n=log (100×27)-log (25×36)

⇒$\log n=\log \left(\frac{100 \times 27}{25 \times 36}\right)$

⇒$\log n=\log \left(\frac{4 \times 27}{1 \times 36}\right)$

⇒log x=-2(1)×log 5

⇒log x=-2log 5

⇒log x=log (5)-2

⇒x=(5)-2

⇒$x=\frac{1}{(5)^{2}}$

⇒$x=\frac{1}{25}$

taking second and third terms,

⇒$\frac{\log y^{2}}{\log 2}=\frac{\log 9}{\log \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}$

⇒$\log y^{2}=\frac{\log 9}{\log \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)} \times \log 2$

⇒$\log y^{2}=\frac{\log (3)^{2}}{\log 1-\log 3} \times \log 2$

⇒$\log y^{2}=\frac{2 \log 3}{0-\log 3} \times \log 2$ [log 1=0]

⇒$\log y^{2}=\frac{2 \log 3}{-\log 3} \times \log 2$

⇒$\log y^{2}=\frac{-2 \log 3}{\log 3} \times \log 2$

⇒$\log y^{2}=-2 \times \log 2 $

⇒$\log y^{2}=\log (2)^{-2}$

⇒$y^{2}=(2)^{-2}$

⇒$y=(2)^{-2 \times \frac{1}{2}}$

⇒$y=(2)^{-1}$

⇒$y=\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ if $\log 2 \log 3^{3}=\log 3 \log 2^{3}$

⇒if log 2.3 log 3=log 3.3 log 2

⇒if 3 log 2.log 3=3.log 2 log 3

Which is true

Hence proved


Question 22

Solve the following equations :

(i) log (2x + 3) = log 7

⇒2x+3=7

⇒2x=7-3

⇒2x=4

⇒$x=\frac{4}{2}$

∴x=2


(ii) log (x +1) + log (x – 1) = log 24

⇒log(x+1)(x-1)=log 24

⇒$\log \left(x^{2}-1\right)=\log 24$

⇒$x^{2}-1=24$

⇒$x^{2}=24+1$

⇒$x^{2}=25$

⇒$x^{2}=(5)^{2}$

∴$x^{2}=5$


(iii) log (10x + 5) – log (x – 4) = 2

⇒$\log \frac{(10 x+5)}{(x-4)}=2(\log 10)$ [∴log 10=1]

⇒$\log \frac{10 x+5}{x-4}=\log (10)^{2}$

⇒$\log \left(\frac{10 x+5}{x-4}\right)=\log 100$

⇒$\frac{10 x+5}{(x-4)}=100$

⇒10x+5=100(x-4)

⇒10x+5=100x-400

⇒10x-100x=-400-5

⇒-90x=-405

⇒$x=\frac{-405}{-90}$

⇒$x=\frac{405}{90}=\frac{81}{18}=\frac{9}{2}$

∴x=4.5


(iv) $\log _{10} 5+\log _{10}(5 x+1)=\log _{10}(x+5)+1$

⇒$\log _{10} 5 \times(5 x+1)=\log _{10}(x+5)+\log _{10} 10$ $\left[\log _{10} 10=1\right]$

⇒$\log _{10} 5(5 x+1)=\log _{10}[10 \times(x+5)]$

⇒5(5x+1)=10(x+5)

⇒25x+5=10x+5

⇒25x-10x=50-5

⇒15x=45

⇒$x=\frac{45}{15}$

∴x=3


(v) log (4y – 3) = log (2y + 1) – log3

⇒$\log 4 y-3=\log \frac{(2 y+1)}{3}$

⇒$4 y-3=\frac{2 y+1}{3}$

⇒3(4y-3)=2y+1

⇒12y-9=2y+1

⇒12y-2y=1+9

⇒10y=10

⇒$y=\frac{10}{10}=1$

∴y=1


(vi) $\log _{10}(x+2)+\log _{10}(x-2)=\log _{10} 3+3 \log _{10} 4$

⇒$\log _{10}(x+2)(x-2)=\log _{10} 3+\log _{10}(4)^{3}$

⇒$\log _{10}\left(x^{2}-2^{2}\right)=\log _{10} 3+\log _{10}(4 \times 4 \times 4)$

⇒$\log _{10}\left(x^{2}-4\right)=\log _{10} 3+\log _{10} 64$

⇒$\log _{10}\left(x^{2}-4\right)=\log _{10} 3 \times 64$

⇒$x^{2}-4=3 \times 64$

⇒$x^{2}-4=192$

⇒$x^{2}=192+4$

⇒$x^{2}=196$

⇒$x^{2}=(14)^{2}$

∴x=14

Hence proved


(vii) log(3x + 2) + log(3x – 2) = 5 log 2.

⇒$\log (3 x+2)(3 x-2)=\log 2^{5}$
⇒$\log \left(9 x^{2}-4\right)=\log 32$
Comparing both sides
⇒$9 x^{2}-4=32$
⇒$9x^{2}=32+4=36$
⇒$x^{2}=\frac{36}{9}=4=(\pm 2)^{2}$
∴x=±2
x=2

Question 23

Solve for x :

$\log _{3}(x+1)-1=3+\log _{3}(x-1)$

Sol :

⇒$\log _{3}(x+1)-1=3+\log _{3}(x-1)$

⇒$\log _{3}(x+1)-3 \log (x-1)=3+1$

⇒$\log _{3} \frac{x+1}{x-1}=4=4 \times 1=4 \log _{3} 3$ $\left(\because \log _{a} a=1\right)$

⇒$\log _{3} \frac{x+1}{x-1}=\log _{3} 3^{4}=\log _{3} 81$

∴$\frac{x+1}{x-1}=\frac{81}{1}$

⇒81x-81=x+1

⇒81x-x=1+81

⇒80x=82

∴$x=\frac{82}{80}=\frac{41}{40}=1 \frac{1}{40}$


Question 24

Solve for $x: 5^{\log x}+3^{\log x}=3^{\log x+1}-5^{\log x-1}$

Sol :

⇒$5^{\log x}+3^{\log x}=3^{\log x+1}-5^{\log x-1}$

⇒$5^{\log x}+3^{\log x}=3^{\log x} \cdot 3^{1}-5^{\log x} \cdot 5^{-1}$

⇒$5^{\log x}+3^{\log x}=3.3^{\log x}-\frac{1}{5} \cdot 5^{\log x}$

⇒$5^{\log x}+\frac{1}{5} \cdot 5^{\log x}=3.3^{\log x}-3^{\log x}$

⇒$\left(1+\frac{1}{5}\right)\left(5^{\log x}\right)=(3-1)\left(3^{\log x}\right)$

⇒$ \frac{6}{5}\left(5^{\log x}\right)=2 \times 3^{\log x}$

⇒$\frac{5^{\log x}}{3^{\log x}}=\frac{2 \times 5}{6}=\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^{1}$

⇒$\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^{\log x}=\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^{1}$

Comparing, we get

⇒log x=1=log 10

∴x=10


Question 25

If $\log \left(\frac{x-y}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{2}(\log x+\log y),$ prove that $x^{2}+y^{2}=6 x y$

Sol :

⇒$\log \left(\frac{x-y}{2}\right) \doteq \frac{1}{2}(\log x+\log y)$

⇒$\log \left(\frac{x-y}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{2} \log x y$ [∵log m+log n=log mn]

⇒$\log \left(\frac{x-y}{2}\right)=\log (x y)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

⇒$ \Rightarrow \frac{x y}{2}=(x y)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

⇒Squaring both sides, we get
⇒$\left(\frac{x-y}{2}\right)^{2}=\left[(x y)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right]^{2}$
⇒$\frac{(x-y)^{2}}{4}=(x y)^{\frac{1}{2} \times 2}$
⇒$(x-y)^{2}=4 \times x y$
⇒$x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x y=4 x y$
⇒$\left[\because(A-B)^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}-2 A B\right]$
⇒$x^{2}+y^{2}=4 x y+2 x y$
⇒$x^{2}+y^{2}=6 x y$

Question 26

If $x^{2}+y^{2}=23 x y,$ Prove that $\log \frac{x+y}{5}=\frac{1}{2}(\log x+\log y)$

Sol :

⇒Given $x^{2}+y^{2}=23 x y$

⇒$x^{2}+y^{2}=25 x y-2 x y$

⇒$(x)^{2}+(y)^{2}+2 \times x \times y=25 x y$

⇒$(x+y)^{2}=25 x y$

⇒$\frac{(x+y)^{2}}{25}=x y$

Taking log on both sides, we get

⇒$\log \frac{(x+y)^{2}}{25}=\log x y$

⇒$\log \left(\frac{x+y}{5}\right)^{2}=\log x+\log y$

⇒$2 \log \frac{x+y}{5}=\log x+\log y$

⇒$\log \frac{x+y}{5}$

⇒$=\frac{1}{2} \quad(\log x+\log y)$ Proved


Question 27

If $p=\log _{10} 20$ and $q=\log _{10} 25$, find the value of x if $2 \log _{10}(x+1)=2 p-q$

Sol :
Given that $p=\log _{10} 20$ and $q=\log _{10} 25$
Then, $2 \log _{10}(x+1)=2 p-q$
Substituting the value of p and q, we get
⇒$2 \log _{10}(x+1)=2 \log _{10} 20-\log _{10} 25$
⇒$2 \log _{10}(x+1)=2 \log _{10} 20-\log _{10}(5)^{2}$
⇒$2 \log _{10}(x+1)=2 \log _{10} 20-2 \log _{10} 5$
⇒$2 \log _{10}(x+1)=2\left(\log _{10} 20-\log _{10} 5\right)$
⇒$\log _{10}(x+1)=2 \frac{\left(\log _{10} 20-\log _{10} 5\right)}{2}$
⇒$\log _{10}(x+1)=\log _{10} 20-\log _{10} 5$
⇒$\log _{10}(x+1)=\log _{10}\left(\frac{20}{5}\right)$
⇒$\log _{10}(x+1)=\log _{10} 4$
⇒x+1=4
⇒x=4-1
∴x=3

Question 28

Show that:

(i) $\frac{1}{\log _{2} 42}+\frac{1}{\log _{3} 42}+\frac{1}{\log _{7} 42}=1$

Sol :
⇒$\frac{1}{\log _{2} 42}+\frac{1}{\log _{3} 42}+\frac{1}{\log _{7} 42}=1$
L.H.S$=\frac{1}{\log _{2} 42}+\frac{1}{\log _{3} 42}+\frac{1}{\log _{7} 42}$
$\left\{\because \log _{n} m=\frac{\log _{m}}{\log _{n}}\right\}$

$=\frac{1}{\frac{\log 42}{\log _{2}}}+\frac{1}{\frac{\log 42}{\log _{3}}}+\frac{1}{\frac{\log 42}{\log _{7}}}$
$=\frac{\log _{2}}{\log 42}+\frac{\log _{3}}{\log 42}+\frac{\log _{7}}{\log 42}$
$=\frac{\log _{2}+\log _{3}+\log _{7}}{\log 42}=\frac{\log _{(2 \times 3 \times 7)}}{\log 42}$
$\left\{\begin{array}{l}\because \log _{m}+\log _{n}+\log _{p} \\ =\log _{m n p}\end{array}\right\}$
$=\frac{\log 42}{\log 42}=1$
=R.H.S

(ii) $\frac{1}{\log _{8} 36}+\frac{1}{\log _{9} 36}+\frac{1}{\log _{18} 36}=2$

Sol :
L.H.S$=\frac{1}{\log _{8} 36}+\frac{1}{\log _{9} 36}+\frac{1}{\log _{18} 36}$
$=\frac{1}{\frac{\log 36}{\log _{8}}}+\frac{1}{\frac{\log 36}{\log _{9}}}+\frac{1}{\frac{\log 36}{\log _{18}}}$
$=\frac{\log _{8}}{\log 36}+\frac{\log _{9}}{\log 36}+\frac{\log _{18}}{\log 36}$
$=\frac{\log _{8}+\log _{9}+\log _{18}}{\log 36}$
$=\frac{\log (8 \times 9 \times 18)}{\log 36}$
$=\frac{\log (36)^{2}}{\log 36}$
$=\frac{2 \log 36}{\log 36}$
=2=R.H.S

Question 29

⇒L.H.S. $=\frac{1}{\log _{a} a b c}+\frac{1}{\log _{b} a b c}+\frac{1}{\log _{c} a b c}$
⇒$=\frac{\frac{1}{\log a b c}}{\log _{a}}+\frac{1}{\frac{\log a b c}{\log _{b}}}+\frac{\frac{1}{\log a b c}}{\log _{c}}$
$\left\{\because \log _{n} m=\frac{\log _{m}}{\log _{n}}\right\}$
⇒$=\frac{\log _{a}}{\log a b c}+\frac{\log _{b}}{\log a b c}+\frac{\log _{c}}{\log a b c}$
⇒$=\frac{\log _{a}+\log _{b}+\log _{c}}{\log a b c}$
⇒$=\frac{\log a b c}{\log a b c}=1$
=R.H.S
$\left\{\begin{array}{l}\because \log m n p \\ =\log _{m}+\log _{n}+\log _{p}\end{array}\right\}$


(ii) $\log _{b} a \cdot \log _{c} b \cdot \log _{d} c=\log _{d} a$
Sol :
L.H.S$=\log _{b} a \times \log _{c} b \times \log _{d} c$

$=\frac{\log a}{\log b} \times \frac{\log b}{\log c} \times \frac{\log c}{\log d}=\frac{\log a}{\log d}$

$=\log _{d} a$
=R.H.S

Question 30

Given that $\log _{a} x=\frac{1}{\alpha}, \log _{b} x=\frac{1}{\beta}, \log _{c} x=\frac{1}{\gamma}$
Find $\log _{a b c} x$
Sol :
⇒$\log_{a} x=\frac{1}{\alpha},\log_{b}x=\frac{1}{\beta},\log_{c} x=\frac{1}{gamma}$
⇒$\log _{a} x=\frac{1}{\alpha}$
⇒$\frac{\log x}{\log _{a}}=\frac{1}{\alpha}$
⇒$\log _{a}=\alpha \log x$
⇒$\log _{b} x=\frac{1}{\beta}$
⇒$\frac{\log x}{\log _{b}}=\frac{1}{\beta} $
⇒$ \log _{b}=\beta \log x$
⇒$\log _{c} x=\frac{1}{\gamma}$
⇒$ \frac{\log x}{\log _{c}}=\frac{1}{\gamma}$
⇒ $\log _{c}=\gamma \log x$

Now $\log _{a b c} x=\frac{\log x}{\log a b c}$
⇒$=\frac{\log x}{\log a+\log b+\log c}$
⇒$=\frac{\log x}{\alpha \log x+\beta \log x+\gamma \log x}$
⇒$=\frac{\log x}{\log x(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)}=\frac{1}{\alpha+\beta+\gamma}$

Question 31

Solve for x
(i) $\log _{3} x+\log _{9} x+\log _{81} x=\frac{7}{4}$
Sol :
⇒$\frac{1}{\log _{x} 3}+\frac{1}{\log _{x} 9}+\frac{1}{\log _{x} 81}=\frac{7}{4}$

⇒$\frac{1}{\log _{x} 3}+\frac{1}{2 \log _{x} 3}+\frac{1}{4 \log _{x} 3}=\frac{7}{4}$
⇒$\frac{1}{\log _{x} 3}\left[1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\right]=\frac{7}{4}$
⇒$\log _{x} 3 \times \frac{7}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$
⇒$\log _{x} 3=\frac{7}{4} \times \frac{4}{7}=1=\log _{3} 3$
$\left\{\because \log _{n} a=1\right\}$

Comparing, we get
∴x=3

(ii) $\log _{2} x+\log _{8} x+\log _{32} x=\frac{23}{15}$
Sol : 
⇒$\frac{1}{\log _{x} 2}+\frac{1}{\log _{x} 8}+\frac{1}{\log _{x} 32}=\frac{23}{15}$
⇒$\frac{1}{\log _{x} 2^{1}}+\frac{1}{\log _{x} 2^{3}}+\frac{1}{\log _{x} 2^{5}}=\frac{23}{15}$
⇒$\frac{1}{\log _{x} 2}+\frac{1}{3 \log _{x} 2}+\frac{1}{5 \log _{x} 2}=\frac{23}{15}$
⇒$\frac{1}{\log _{x} 2}\left[-1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}\right]=\frac{23}{15}$
⇒$\frac{23}{15}\left[\log _{x} 2\right]=\frac{23}{15}$
⇒$\log _{x} 2=\frac{23}{15} \times \frac{15}{23}=1=\log _{2} 2$ $\left\{\because \log _{a} a=1\right\}$
