Assertion (A): logx (m x n x p) = logx m + logx n + log p.
Reason (R): The logarithm of a product at any non-zero base is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors at the same base.
- A is true, R is false.
- A is false, R is true.

Answer
A is false, R is true.
Explanation
Given,
logx (m x n x p) = logx m + logx n + log p
The product law of logarithms states that :
loga (b x c) = loga b + loga c
So, logx (m x n x p) = logx m + logx n + logx p
≠ logx m + logx n + log p
∴ Assertion (A) is false.
The logarithm of a product at any non-zero base is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors at the same base.
i.e., loga (b x c) = loga b + loga c
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Hence, Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.
