JEE Advanced Logarithms Important Questions
Single Type
1. If x + y + z = 12 & x2 + y2 + z2 = 96 & 1 1 1
x y z
= 36 then value
of x3 + y3 + z3 is
(A) 862 (B) 863
(C) 865 (D) 866
Ans: (D)
(x + y + z)2 = 144
x2 + 2xy = 144
xy = 24
Now xyzxy = 36
xyz = 2
3
x3 + y3 + z3 – 2
–
x3 – 2 = 12 (96 – 24)
x3 = 866
L.H.S. is valid if :
1
x2 – 10x + 22 > 0 x
2
0
1 < x
2
<2= 2<x<4
log x
log2
(x2 – 10x + 22) > 0
2
x2 – 10x + 22 < 1
x2 – 10x + 21 < 0 3 < x < 7
The common solution 3 < x < 4
(2) log2 x2 > 1 x2 > 2
x>4
log x
log2
(x2 – 10x + 22) > 0
2
Put log10x = 1
But x + 1x 2 if x > 0 and x + 1
x
–2 if x < 0 least value of
expression = 4 because
log10x < 0 x > 1
So correct choice is [D]
3
Since a = x a > 0 and a 1
log a x
4
y > z if x > 1
y < z if 0 < x < 1
and logyx > logz x
y < z if x > 1 and y, z > 1
Hence choice [B] is correct.
= 12 (1+2k) = 122k

2a < b if – a < x < a
– 2x < b if x < – a
If a < 0 2x < – a if x > – a
– 2a < b if a < x < – a
– 2x < b if x < a
Hence b > 2|a| if – a < x < a
b > 2|a| if x b2 , b2 B is true and for
b 2|a| hence no solution
So A, B are true.
b = 2 irrational
then a = 2
2
b
2
= 2 which is rational
(B) If a = 2 Q
b = log2 3 Q
7
then ab = 3 Q
C & D can be easily checked
(C) 2 (D) 81
Ans: (C, D)
L.H.S. + ve x>1
So log3 x2 – 2logx9 = 7 or x –1=1 x = 2
2 log3x – 4 log1 x – 7 = 0
3
x2 – 8ax + 15a2 = 0
x = 3a, 5a
x = 9 (given)
x = 3, 95
But a > 2
a=3
at a = 3 x = 9, 15
Ans: (A, D)
(A) m – n = (log25)2 – (log25 + 2) = (log25 – 2) (log25
+ 1) > 0
m > n
(B) m = 0·3010, n = 13 m<n
(C) m =(1 – log102)(1 + log102) = 1– log 2 < 1 2

Hence choice [B] is true.
(C) log243 32 = log 2
log 3
= 1 log 5
log 3
= 1 b
a
= (27)
(27) log9 36 log3 6
= 216
(3) =3
( 4 / log7 9) 4 log9 7
= (9 ) = 9 = 72 = 49
1/ 2 4 log9 7 2 log9 7
So sum = 890
Choice [A] is true.
(B) [log3(33 × 5)]. [log3 (3×5)] – log35 [log3(34×5)] = 3
choice [B] is true.
If (B) is true (C) can’t be true.
Ans: (B, C, D)
11
logx 2 is defined x > 0 and x 3
log2x 2 is defined x > 0 and x 12
log24x is defined x > 0
domain of function
(A) (logx2) (log4x2) (log24x) is x > 0
and x 1 and x 12
So choice [A] is ruled out.
(B) Since x > 2 is sub-set of domain f g(x).
So choice (B) is true.
Given expressions log 2x(1log logx x) > 1 put log2 x = t

(log2x)2 + (log2x) – 2 0

(log2x + 2) (log2x – 1 0
– 2 log2x 1
14 x 2
So integers are x = 1, 2

Now given n x + n y + n z = 0
nn xy nn yz = – 1
Similarly n y n z
n x n x
=–1 &
n x n y
n z n z
=–1
R.H.S. = – 3
n X = – 3
X = e–3
24. If log x = 1 & log(x2y 3) = 7 then log |xy| is equal to……..

Ans: (3)
2logx – 3log y = 1
2log x + 3log y = 7
Solving log x = 2
& log y = 1 log x + log y = log xy = 3
