JEE Advanced Maths Logarithm Previous Year Questions with Solutions

Question 1: Let (x0, y0) be the solution of the following equations.
(2x)ln 2 = (3y)ln 3
3ln x = 2ln y. Then x0 is
(a) 1/6
(b) 1/3
(c) 1/2
(d) 6
Solution:
Given that (2x)ln 2 = (3y)ln 3 ..(i)
Taking log on both sides
log 2 log (2x) = log 3 log (3y)
log 2 (log 2 + log x) = log 3 (log 3 + log y) ..(ii)
Also 3ln x = 2ln y ..(iii)
Taking log on both sides
log x log 3 = log y log 2

Hi there! Got any questions?
I can help you...
log y = log x log 3/log 2 …(iv)
Substitute (iv) in (ii)
log 2 (log 2 + log x) = log 3 (log 3 + log x log 3/log 2 )

log x = log 2-1
=> x = 2-1
= 1/2
Hence option c is the answer.
Question 2: If 3x = 4x-1, then x =
Solution:
Given that 3x = 4x-1
Take log on both sides
log 3x = log 4x-1
x log 3 = (x-1) log 4
= x log 4 – log 4
log 4 = x(log 4 – log 3)
So x = log 4/(log 4 – log 3)
= 1/(1 – log 3/log 4)
= 1/(1 – log4 3)
Hence the value of x is 1/(1 – log4 3).
Question 3: The number of positive integers satisfying the equation x + log10(2x + 1) = x log105 + log10 6 is
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) infinite
Solution:
x + log10(2x + 1) = x log105 + log10 6
x [1 – log105] + log10(2x + 1) = log10 6
x [ log10 10 – log10 5] + log10(2x + 1) = log10 6
x log102 + log10(2x + 1) = log10 6
log10 2x (2x + 1) = log10 6
(2x)2 + 2x – 6 = 0
2x = 2 or 2x = -3 (rejected)
=> x = 1 Hi there! Got any questions?

I can help you...
So number of positive integers = 1
Hence option b is the answer.
Question 4: If log7 2 = k, then log49 28 is equal to
(a) (1+2k)/4
(b) (1+2k)/2
(c) (1+2k)/3
(d) none of the above
Solution:
Given log7 2 = k
log49 28 =
log72 28
= ½ log7 28
= ½ log7 (4×7)
= ½ log7 4 + ½ log7 7
= ½ log7 22 + ½
= log7 2 + ½
=k+½
= (2k+1)/2
Hence option b is the answer.
Question 5: If loga x = b for permissible values of a and x then which is/are correct.
(a) If a and b are two irrational numbers, then x can be rational
(b) If a is rational and b is irrational, then x can be rational
(c) If a is irrational and b is rational, then x can be rational
(d) If a and b are rational, then x can be rational
Solution:
Given that loga x = b
=> x = eb/a
Case 1: Let, b be any irrational number and a be equal to a = eb that means a is irrational because e is irrational. So x = eb/a becomes rational.
Hence option a is correct.
Case 2: Let a be rational and b is irrational.
If we take any rational number as a and b = ln a, then x = eb/a = eln a/a = a/a = 1.
So x is rational.
Hence option b is correct.
Case 3: Let a be irrational and b is rational,
If we consider any rational number as b and a = eb
Then x = eb/eb = 1 is rational.
Hence option c is correct.

I can help you...
Case 4: let a and b be rational.
If we take a = any rational number and b = 0, x can be rational.
Hence option d is correct.
So option a, b, c and d are correct.
Question 6: If x = 9 is a solution of ln(x2 + 15a2) – ln (a-2) = ln (8ax/(a-2)) then
(a) a = 3/5
(b) a = 3
(c) x = 15
(d) x = 2
Solution:
Given ln(x2 + 15a2) – ln (a-2) = ln (8ax/(a-2))
ln [(x2 + 15a2)/(a-2)] = ln (8ax/(a-2))
=> (x2 + 15a2)/(a-2) = (8ax/(a-2))
=> x2 + 15a2 = 8ax
=> x2 + 15a2 – 8ax = 0 ..(i)
Given x = 9 is a root.
=> 81 + 15a2 – 72a = 0
=> 5a2 – 24a + 27 = 0
=> (5a-9) (a-3) = 0
=> a = 9/5 or a = 3
Put value of a in (i)
When a = 9/5, we get x = 9 or x = 27/5
When a = 3, we get x = 9 or x = 15
Hence option b and c are correct.
Question 7: If log10 5 = a and log10 3 = b then
(a) log30 8 = 3(1-a)/(b+1)
(b) log40 15 = (a+b)/(3-2a)
(c) log243 32 = (1-a)/b
(d) none of these
Solution:
Given log10 5 = a and log10 3 = b
We check all the given options.
log30 8 = log 23/log (3×10)
= 3 log 2/( log 3 + log 10)
= 3 log (10/5)/(1 + log 3)
= 3 (1 – log 5)/(1 + log 3)
= 3(1 – a)/(1+b) Hi there! Got any questions?

I can help you...
Hence option a is correct.
log40 15 = log 15/log 40
= log(3×5)/log(10×4)
= (log 3 + log 5)/(1 + log 22)
= (log 3 + log 5)/(1 +2 log 2)
= (log 3 + log 5)/(1 +2 log (10/5))
= (log 3 + log 5)/(1 +2 (1 – log 5))
= (log 3 + log 5)/(1 +2 – 2 log 5)
= (b+a)/(3 – 2a)
Hence option b is correct.
log243 32 = log 32/log 243
= log 25/log 35
= 5 log 2/5 log 3
= log 2/log 3
= (1 – log 5)/log 3 (since log 2 = log (10/5) = log 10 – log 5 = 1 – log 5)
= (1-a)/b
So option c is correct.
Hence option a, b and c are correct.
Question 8: The value of
1 1
2
× (√ 7)
log (log 9) log 7
((log2 9) ) 2 2 4
is
(a) 8
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) none of these
Solution:
Hence option a is the answer.
Question 9: If log10 2 = a and log10 3 = b then log 60 can be expressed in terms of a and b as
(a) a+b+1
(b) a-b+1
(c) a-b-1
(d) a+b-1
I can help you...
Solution:
Given log10 2 = a and log10 3 = b
log 60 = log (10×2×3)
= log 10 + log 2 + log 3
=1+a+b
Hence option a is the answer.
Question 10: If A = log2 log2 log4 256 + log√2 2, then A is equal to
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 5
(d) 7
Solution:
We use the property loga (m)n = n loga m
log2 log2 log4 256 + log√2 2 = log2 log2 log4 (4)4 + log√2 √22
= log2 log2 4 + 2(2)
= log2 log2 22 + 4
= log2 2 + 4
= 1+4 (loga a = 1)
=5
Hence option c is the answer.

JEE Advanced Maths Logarithm Previous Year Questions with Solutions

3ln x = 2ln y. Then x0 is

Given that (2x)ln 2 = (3y)ln 3 ..(i)

Taking log on both sides

log 2 log (2x) = log 3 log (3y)

log 2 (log 2 + log x) = log 3 (log 3 + log y) ..(ii)

Also 3ln x = 2ln y ..(iii)

Taking log on both sides

log x log 3 = log y log 2

Substitute (iv) in (ii)

log 2 (log 2 + log x) = log 3 (log 3 + log x log 3/log 2 )

Hence option c is the answer.

Question 2: If 3x = 4x-1, then x =

Given that 3x = 4x-1

Take log on both sides

log 3x = log 4x-1

x log 3 = (x-1) log 4

log 4 = x(log 4 – log 3)

So x = log 4/(log 4 – log 3)

= 1/(1 – log 3/log 4)

Hence the value of x is 1/(1 – log4 3).

x + log10(2x + 1) = x log105 + log10 6

x [1 – log105] + log10(2x + 1) = log10 6

x [ log10 10 – log10 5] + log10(2x + 1) = log10 6

x log102 + log10(2x + 1) = log10 6

log10 2x (2x + 1) = log10 6

=> x = 1 Hi there! Got any questions?

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 4: If log7 2 = k, then log49 28 is equal to

Hence option b is the answer.

(a) If a and b are two irrational numbers, then x can be rational

(b) If a is rational and b is irrational, then x can be rational

(c) If a is irrational and b is rational, then x can be rational

(d) If a and b are rational, then x can be rational

Given that loga x = b

Hence option a is correct.

Case 2: Let a be rational and b is irrational.

Hence option b is correct.

Case 3: Let a be irrational and b is rational,

If we consider any rational number as b and a = eb

Then x = eb/eb = 1 is rational.

Hence option c is correct.

If we take a = any rational number and b = 0, x can be rational.

Hence option d is correct.

Given ln(x2 + 15a2) – ln (a-2) = ln (8ax/(a-2))

ln [(x2 + 15a2)/(a-2)] = ln (8ax/(a-2))

=> (x2 + 15a2)/(a-2) = (8ax/(a-2))

=> x2 + 15a2 = 8ax

=> x2 + 15a2 – 8ax = 0 ..(i)

=> 81 + 15a2 – 72a = 0

=> 5a2 – 24a + 27 = 0

=> (5a-9) (a-3) = 0

Put value of a in (i)

When a = 9/5, we get x = 9 or x = 27/5

Hence option b and c are correct.

Question 7: If log10 5 = a and log10 3 = b then

(a) log30 8 = 3(1-a)/(b+1)

(b) log40 15 = (a+b)/(3-2a)

(c) log243 32 = (1-a)/b
