Which of the following statements is not correct?

Question: Which of the following statements is not correct?
[A].

log10 10 = 1

[B].

log (2 + 3) = log (2 x 3)

[C].

log10 1 = 0

[D].

log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

(a) Since logaa = 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.
