I'm assuming the logarithms m and n are to the base 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Applying the basic laws of logs i.e.
\n" ); document.write( "Log (A*B) = Log A + log B
\n" ); document.write( "Log (A/B) = Log A - Log B\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "log (35/10) = log 35 - log 10 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= log (5*7) - log 10
\n" ); document.write( "= log 5 + log 7 - log 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= m + n - 1 (because log 10 to the base 10 = 1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the correct answer is indeed \"highlight%28m+%2B+n+-+1%29\"\r
