Question 13 • Mathematics III

How does the value of log_2⁡100 compare with the value of the log base 6 of 20 ?

Answer
A
The value of the log base 2 of 100 is about 1 third times the value of the log base 6 of 20 .
B
The value of the log base 2 of 100 is about 1 fourth times the value of the log base 6 of 20 .
C
The value of the log base 2 of 100 is about 4 times the value of ​​​​​​​ the log base 6 of 20 .
D
The value of the log base 2 of 100 is about 3 times the value of the log base 6 of 20 .

Explanation

Using change of base, log₂(100) = ln(100)/ln(2) ≈ 6.64, while log₆(20) = ln(20)/ln(6) ≈ 1.67. Their ratio is about 6.64 ÷ 1.67 ≈ 4, so log₂(100) is about 4 times log₆(20). This matches the choice saying “about 4 times.”
