Correct Answer: Option n
Explanation:
(a) \(\log_{10} \sqrt{30} - \log_{10} \sqrt{6} + \log_{10} \sqrt{2}\)
= \(\log_{10} (\sqrt{\frac{30}{6}} \times \sqrt{2})\)
= \(\log_{10} (\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{2})\)
= \(\log_{10} \sqrt{10}\)
= \(\log_{10} (10^{\frac{1}{2}})\)
= \(\frac{1}{2} \log_{10} 10\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\).
(b)
(ii) \(A \cap C = { } \)
(iii) \(A \cap B' = {1, 4}\).
(a) \(\log_{10} \sqrt{30} - \log_{10} \sqrt{6} + \log_{10} \sqrt{2}\)
= \(\log_{10} (\sqrt{\frac{30}{6}} \times \sqrt{2})\)
= \(\log_{10} (\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{2})\)
= \(\log_{10} \sqrt{10}\)
= \(\log_{10} (10^{\frac{1}{2}})\)
= \(\frac{1}{2} \log_{10} 10\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\).
