If $n=(1999) !$, then $\sum_{x=1}^{1999} \log _{n} x$ is equal to

  • Correct answer
    A
    1
  • B
    0
  • C
    $\sqrt[1999]{1999}$
  • D
    $-1$

Solution

$\sum_{x=1}^{1999} \log _{n} x$ $=\log _{(1999) !} 1+\log _{(1999) !} 2+\ldots+\log _{(1999) !} 1999$ $=\log _{(1999) !}(1.2 .3 \ldots 1999)$ $=\log _{(1999) !}(1999) !=1$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
