Answer:

The correct option is option (d).

Explanation:

Logarithms are used basically to express large number.

Rules:


  • log_a(M.N)= log_aM+log_aN

  • log_a((M)/(N))= log_aM-log_aN

  • log_a(M^k)=klog_aM

  • log_a(1)=0

  • log_a(a)=1

  • b^{log_(b)k}=k

  • log_ab=c \Leftrightarrow b=a^c

Here given that,


log_5(x+30)=0

Applying the last rule


\Rightarrow (x+30)= 5^3


\Rightarrow x+30 = 125

⇒x=125-30

⇒x=95

Therefore x=95.
