(b)$\frac{4}{5}$
(c)1
(d)2
Answer
Answer (as printed): C
Explanation
$$\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{3} \log _{10} 125-2 \log _{10} 4+\log _{10} 32=\log _{10}(125)^{1 / 3}-\log _{10} \\ & (4)^{2}+\log _{10} 32 \\ & =\log _{10} 5-\log _{10} 16+\log _{10} 32=\log _{10}\left(\frac{5 \times 32}{16}\right) \\ & =\log _{10} 10=1 \end{aligned}$$
