If $\log _{8} p=25$ and $\log _{2} q=5$, then
(a)$p=q^{15}$
(b)$p^{2}=q^{3}$
(c)$p=q^{5}$
(d)$p^{3}=q$
Answer
Answer (as printed): A
Explanation
$\log _{8} p=25$ and $\log _{2} q=5 \Rightarrow p=8^{25}$ and $q=2^{5}$ $\Rightarrow p=\left(2^{3}\right)^{25}$ and $q=2^{5}$. $\Rightarrow p=2^{75}$ and $q=2^{5}$ $\Rightarrow p=\left(2^{5}\right)^{15}$ and $q=2^{5}$ $\Rightarrow p=q^{15}$.
