Which of the following statements is not correct?

Correct Answer: log (2 + 3) = log (2 x 3)

Explanation:

(a) Since loga a = 1, so log10 10 = 1.


(b) log (2 + 3) = log 5 and log (2 x 3) = log 6 = log 2 + log 3


     ∴ log (2 + 3) ≠ log (2 x 3)


(c) Since loga 1 = 0, so log10 1 = 0.


(d) log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 6 = log (1 x 2 x 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3.


So, (b) is incorrect.
