Answer
loga (bc) = loga b + loga c
This is a fundamental property of logarithms, known as the product rule. It states that the logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the individual factors.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Given, log2 16
⇒ log2 (4 x 4)
⇒ log2 4 + log2 4
⇒ log2 22 + log2 22
⇒ 2log2 2 + 2log2 2
⇒ 2 + 2
⇒ 4.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
∴ Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct reason (or explanation) for Assertion (A).
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
