Question: If \(\log_{10}3 = 0.477\), the number of digits in \(3^{40}\)is...

If log103=0.477\log_{10}3 = 0.477, the number of digits in 3403^{40}is

A

18

B

19

C

20

D

21

Answer

20

Explanation

Solution

Let y=340y = 3^{40}is

Taking log both the sides, logy=log340logy=40log3logy=19.08\log y = \log 3^{40} \Rightarrow \log{}y = 40\log 3 \Rightarrow \log y = 19.08

∴ Number of digits in y=19+1=20y = 19 + 1 = 20
