    Top CAT Quant Logarithms Questions [Download PDF]

    Logarithms are a key topic in the CAT Quantitative Ability (QA) section, consistently appearing in exams over the years. Typically, 1-2 straightforward questions on logarithms are included, making it essential for students to master the basics and practice thoroughly. Reviewing CAT past papers with detailed video solutions is highly recommended.

    To practice important logarithm questions for the CAT exam, you can download a PDF of previous years' questions with video solutions—no sign-up required. Additionally, take 3 free CAT mock tests to assess your current level and identify your strengths and weaknesses.

    Question 1

    If $$\sqrt{5x+9} + \sqrt{5x - 9} = 3(2 + \sqrt{2})$$, then $$\sqrt{10x+9}$$ is equal to


    Question 2

    If Y is a negative number such that $$2^{Y^2({\log_{3}{5})}}=5^{\log_{2}{3}}$$, then Y equals to:


    Question 3

    If $$\log_{a}{30}=A,\log_{a}({\frac{5}{3}})=-B$$ and $$\log_2{a}=\frac{1}{3}$$, then $$\log_3{a}$$ equals


    Question 4

    If $$5 - \log_{10}\sqrt{1 + x} + 4 \log_{10} \sqrt{1 - x} = \log_{10} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$$, then 100x equals


    Question 5

    Let x and y be positive real numbers such that
    $$\log_{5}{(x + y)} + \log_{5}{(x - y)} = 3,$$ and $$\log_{2}{y} - \log_{2}{x} = 1 - \log_{2}{3}$$. Then $$xy$$ equals


    Question 6

    For a real number a, if $$\frac{\log_{15}{a}+\log_{32}{a}}{(\log_{15}{a})(\log_{32}{a})}=4$$ then a must lie in the range


    Question 7

    If $$(\sqrt{\frac{7}{5}})^{3x-y}=\frac{875}{2401}$$ and $$(\frac{4a}{b})^{6x-y}=(\frac{2a}{b})^{y-6x}$$, for all non-zero real values of a and b, then the value of $$x+y$$ is


    Question 8

    If m and n are integers such that $$(\surd2)^{19} 3^4 4^2 9^m 8^n = 3^n 16^m (\sqrt[4]{64})$$ then m is


    Question 9

    If $$\log_{2}[3+\log_{3} \left\{4+\log_{4}(x-1) \right\}]-2=0$$ then 4x equals


    Question 10

    If $$x=(4096)^{7+4\sqrt{3}}$$, then which of the following equals to 64?


    Question 11

    For some positive real number x, if $$\log_{\sqrt{3}}{(x)}+\frac{\log_{x}{(25)}}{\log_{x}{(0.008)}}=\frac{16}{3}$$, then the value of $$\log_{3}({3x^{2}})$$ is


    Question 12

    $$\frac{2\times4\times8\times16}{(\log_{2}{4})^{2}(\log_{4}{8})^{3}(\log_{8}{16})^{4}}$$ equals


    Question 13

    If a,b,c are non-zero and $$14^a=36^b=84^c$$, then $$6b(\frac{1}{c}-\frac{1}{a})$$ is equal to


    Question 14

    If x is a positive real number such that $$x^8 + \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^8 = 47$$, then the value of $$x^9 + \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^9$$ is


    Question 15

    If $$x$$ and $$y$$ are positive real numbers such that $$\log_{x}(x^2 + 12) = 4$$ and $$3 \log_{y} x = 1$$, then $$x + y $$ equals


    Question 16

    If $$\log_4m + \log_4n = \log_2(m + n)$$ where m and n are positive real numbers, then which of the following must be true?


    Question 17

    Question 18

    If $$\log_{4}{5}=(\log_{4}{y})(\log_{6}{\sqrt{5}})$$, then y equals


    Question 19

    If $$(5.55)^x = (0.555)^y = 1000$$, then the value of $$\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{y}$$ is


    Question 20

    Consider the equation $$\log_5(x - 2) = 2 \log_{25}(2x - 4)$$, where x is a real number.
    For how many different values of x does the given equation hold?
