A.0
B.1
C.2
Solution
In the given question, we are given that xn>xn−1....>x2>x1>1 where n is any constant and further we have to find out the value of these xn,xn−1 with logarithm. Using logarithmic identities, We will find the value of these logarithm values asked in the question.
Complete step-by-step answer:
In the given question we have to find out the value of
logx1logx2logx3....logxnxn(xn−1)....x1
Where the values of xn,xn−1,.....,x2,x1,1
Are given in an order which isxn,>xn−1>.....>x2>x1>1
Since we have to find the value in log.
Therefore, using logarithmic identities, we will find the value of asked question. We are to find the value of
logx1logx2logx3....logxnxn(xn−1)....x1
Now using the identity logmn=nlogm
We get logx1logx2logx3....logxnxn(xn−1)....x1 x1logxnxn
Also logmm=1 therefore logxnxn=1
We get logx1logx2logx3....logxnxn(xn−1)....x1
Therefore, we get logx1logx2logx3x3x2x1...............(1)
Again, in the third term logx3x3(x2x1)
We get x2x1logx3x3
Since logmm=1therefore logx3x3=1
Therefore equation 1 becomes logx1logx2x2x1
Again using the same logarithmic identities, we get
logx1,x1logx2x2
Again logx2x2=1, we get logx1x1
Which is logx1logx2logx3....logxnxn(xn−1)....x1=1
So option (B) is correct.
In this question, We had used two identities, that for two constants or variables m and n logmn=1 which means if both in the base and in the value if there is same constant or variable then the value of logmm=1. Also, second identity is logmn, which means log of m to the power n, then the value of logmn becomes n logm that means power comes in front of the log and the value of m is there.
Note: Logarithmic is the mathematical expression or formula that is used to find out the values of various variables and constants. Some basic identities of logarithm for two variables m and n are logmn=logm+logn,lognm=logm−logn
logmn=nlogm and logmm=1
Using these logarithmic identities, we can find out the values of variables or constants as well as the relationship between them.
