1.
Which of the following statements is not correct?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
(a) Since loga a = 1, so log10 10 = 1.
(b) log (2 + 3) = log 5 and log (2 x 3) = log 6 = log 2 + log 3
log (2 + 3) 
log (2 x 3)
(c) Since loga 1 = 0, so log10 1 = 0.
(d) log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 6 = log (1 x 2 x 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3.
So, (b) is incorrect.

If they say log 6 = log 2 + log 3, then log (2+3) = log 2 + log 3.
Can someone explain ?

log 6 = log(2*3) = log 2 + log 3.
But log(2+3) =log 5 which is not equal to log 6.
So, log(2+3) != log 2 + log 3.
But log(2+3) =log 5 which is not equal to log 6.
So, log(2+3) != log 2 + log 3.

243 base 9.
This mainly 243 = 3*3*3*3*3 = 3^5.
And 9 = 3*3 = 3^2.
So answer is 5/2. I dot no how to write log in keyboard.
