Question

Using logarithm table, determine the value of ${\log }_{10}0.5432$.

• A. $\overline{1}.7350$
• B. $\overline{2}.7350$
• C. $0.7350$
• D. $0.07350$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\overline{1}.7350$

${\log }_{10}0.5432$

Characteristics$=-1$

For mantissa ,read from the table $5432.$

Mantissa$=7350$

Thus, ${\log }_{10}0.5432=$ characteristics of $0.5432+$ mantissa of $0.5432$

$=-1+0.7350$

$=\overline{1}.7350$

Hence, A is the correct option.
