Final answer:

Arjun made errors in applying the property of logarithms. The correct property states that the logarithm of the number resulting from the division of two numbers is the difference between the logarithms of the two numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arjun made errors in applying the property of logarithms that states the logarithm of the number resulting from the division of two numbers is the difference between the logarithms of the two numbers. This property applies for any base.

For example, let's say Arjun wants to find log(8/2). Instead of subtracting the logarithms of 8 and 2, Arjun likely evaluated log(8) and log(2) separately and then divided the results. This is incorrect because he did not use the correct property of logarithms. The correct answer is log(8) - log(2), which simplifies to log(4).
