MCQ
If ${1 \over 2} \le {\log _{0.1}}x \le 2$ then
  • A
    The maximum value of $x$ is $1/\sqrt {10} $
  • B
    $x$ lies between $1/100$ and $1/\sqrt {10} $
  • C
    The minimum value of $x$ is $1/100$
  • All of These

Answer

Correct option: D.
All of These
d
(d) ${1 \over 2} \le {\log _{0.1}}x \le 2$

${1 \over 2} \le {\log _{0.1}}\,x \Rightarrow {\log _{0.1}}{(0.1)^{1/2}} \le {\log _{0.1}}x$

$ \Rightarrow $${(0.1)^{1/2}} \ge x$ $ \Rightarrow $$x \le {1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}$

${\log _{0.1}}x \le 2 \Rightarrow {\log _{0.1}}x \le {\log _{0.1}}{(0.1)^2}$

$x \ge {(0.1)^2} \Rightarrow x \ge {1 \over {100}}$, ${1 \over {100}} \le x \le {1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}$.

Hence, ${x_{{\rm{max}}}} = {1 \over {\sqrt {10} }},{x_{{\rm{min}}{\rm{.}}}} = {1 \over {100}}$.
