Answer

Correct Answer : d ) 0.384

We know that,

\(log_b\ a= {log_c\ a\over log_c\ b}=log_c\ a-log_c\ b, \) and \(log_c\ ab=log_c\ a+log_c\ b\)

Now, considering the given expression

log₅₀4.50

⇒\(log_{10}\ 4.5\over log_{10}\ 50\)

⇒\({log_{10}\ {45\over10}\over log_{10}\ 50}={log_{10}\ {(5×9)}-log_{10}\ 10 \over log_{10}\ {(5×10)}}\)

⇒l\(log_{10}\ 5+log_{10}\ 3^2-log_{10}\ 10\over log_{10}\ 5+log_{10}\ 10\)

We know that,

\(log\ a^m=m\ log \ a\) and \( log_{10} \ 10 = 1\)

⇒\(log_{10}\ 5+2log_{10}\ 3-log_{10}\ 10 \over log_{10}\ 5+log_{10}\ 10\)

From the given values,

⇒\({{0.698+2×0.477-1}\over {0.698+1}}={0.652\over1.698}≈0.3839\)

Hence, (d) is the correct answer.
