Quantitative Aptitude Question on Logarithms

If log 2(5+log3a)=3 and log5(4a+12+log2b) = 3, then a+b is equal to

A

67

B

40

C

32

D

59

Answer

59

Explanation

Solution

The correct answer is (D):
5+log3a = 23 = 8 ⇒ a = 27
Similarly, 4a+12+log2b = 53 = 125
since a = 27, 4(27)+12+log2b = 125 ⇒ b = 32
a + b = 59.
