MCQ
If $x = {\log _5}(1000)$ and $y = {\log _7}(2058)$ then
  • $x > y$
  • B
    $x < y$
  • C
    $x = y$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$x > y$
a
(a) $x = {\log _5}1000 = 3{\log _5}10 = 3 + 3{\log _5}2 = 3 + {\log _5}8$

$y = {\log _7}2058 = {\log _7}({7^3}.6) = 3 + {\log _7}6$

As ${\log _5}8 > {\log _5}5$ i.e., ${\log _5}8 > 1$. $x > 4$

And ${\log _7}6 < {\log _7}7$ i.e., ${\log _7}6 < 1$

$\therefore y < 4$;

$\therefore x > y$.
