Question 3

           Sole for x and y in the equations:
            log|(x – 1) + 2logy = 2log3
            log x + log y = log 6

Observation

     This question was attempted by majority of the candidates and they performed very well in it. Majority of those who attempted this question were reported to have applied the theory of logarithms correctly to the equations to obtain y2(x – 1) = 9 and xy = 6. Solving these equations simultaneously gave x = 2 and y = 3.
