Assertion (A): If log10x log105 = log1020
⇒ 5x = 20 and x = 4
Reason (R): If log10x log105 = log1020
⇒ x + 5 = 20 and x = 15
- A is true, R is false.
- A is false, R is true.
- Both A and R are true.
- Both A and R are false.

Answer
Both A and R are false.
Explanation
Given,
log10x log105 = log1020
Let log10x = a.
Then,
⇒ a. log105 = log1020
⇒ a =
Using the property lognm =
⇒ a = log520
⇒ log10x = log520
Using the logarithmic identity logba = c ⇒ bc = a,
⇒ x = 5log520 = 20
∴ x ≠ 4
∴ Assertion (A) is false.
It is shown above, log10x log105 = log1020 ⇒ x = 20
∴ x ≠ 15
∴ Reason (R) is false.
Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.
