Q42 / 110 · VITEEE 2024 · Mathematics

$\log \left(\log _{a b} a+\frac{1}{\log _b a b}\right)$ is (where $\left.a b \neq 1\right)$

  • Correct answer
    A
    0
  • B
    1
  • C
    $\log _a a b$
  • D
    $\log _b a b$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \log \left(\log _{a b} a+\frac{1}{\log _b a b}\right) \\ & =\log \left(\log _{a b} a+\log _{a b} b\right)\left\{\because \log _m n=\frac{1}{\log _n m}\right\} \\ & =\log \left(\log _{a b}(a b)\right)\end{aligned}$ $\left\{\because \log _b m+\log _b n=\log _b(m n)\right\}$ $=\log (1)=0$

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