If log 2 = 0.3010 and log 3 = 0.4771 then the value of log 4.5 is:

(a)0.6532 (b)0.7727 (c)0.3266 (d)0.3796 (e)none of these

• 4.5 = 9/2= (3^2)/2
  
  Taking log of both sides,
  log 4.5 = 2 log 3 - log 2 = 2*0.4771-0.301 = 0.9542-0.3010= 0.6532

• (a)0.6532
  log 3 + log 3 = log (3*3) ->log 9 = 0.4771 + 0.4771 = 0.9542
  now
  log 9 - log 2 = log (9/2) =log 4.5
  -> log 4.5 = 0.9542 - 0.3010 = 0.6532

• ans a)
  (log3-log2)+log3=log4.5
