Question 271. If log10 2 = 0.3010, then log2 10 is equal to:
  1.    $$\frac{{699}}{{301}}$$
  2.    $$\frac{{1000}}{{301}}$$
  3.    0.3010

Answer: Option B. -> $$\frac{{1000}}{{301}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\log _2}10 \cr
& = \frac{1}{{{{\log }_{10}}2}} \cr
& = \frac{1}{{0.3010}} \cr
& = \frac{{10000}}{{3010}} \cr
& = \frac{{1000}}{{301}} \cr} $$
Question 272. If $${\log _{10}}5 + {\log _{10}}\left( {5x + 1} \right)$$     = $${\log _{10}}$$ $$\left( {x + 5} \right)$$ $$\, + $$ $$1,$$ then x is equal to :
  1.    1
  2.    3
  3.    5
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow {\log _{10}}5 + {\log _{10}}\left( {5x + 1} \right) = {\log _{10}}\left( {x + 5} \right) + 1 \cr
& \Rightarrow {\log _{10}}\left[ {5\left( {5x + 1} \right)} \right] = {\log _{10}}\left[ {10\left( {x + 5} \right)} \right] \cr
& \Rightarrow 5\left( {5x + 1} \right) = 10\left( {x + 5} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow 5x + 1 = 2x + 10 \cr
& \Rightarrow 3x = 9 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 3 \cr} $$

$$\eqalign{
& {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_8}{\text{p}} = 25\,\,{\text{and lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}{\text{q}} = 5\, \cr

  3.    x = y
  4.    x = $$\frac{{\text{y}}}{2}$$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> x = y
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{2}\left( {\log x + \log y} \right) = \log \left( {\frac{{x + y}}{2}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\log \left( {xy} \right) = \log \left( {\frac{{x + y}}{2}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow \log {\left( {xy} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}} = \log \left( {\frac{{x + y}}{2}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {xy} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}} = \left( {\frac{{x + y}}{2}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow xy = {\left( {\frac{{x + y}}{2}} \right)^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow 4xy = {x^2} + {y^2} + 2xy \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} - 2xy = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {x - y} \right)^2} = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow x - y = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = y\, \cr} $$
