Y = 252^10
applying log on both the sides
Log Y= 10 log 252
10 log( 2*2*3*3*7)
log m*n = Log m+ log n
hence its 10 (0.603+0.954+.0854)
= 24.02
whats the OA?

Y = 252^10
I trust calculations of sudhir:
Log Y = 24.02
We know that: log 10=1
So we also know
log 10^2=2
log 10^24=24 which is more or less 24.02
log Y=24=log 10^24
Y=10^24
In 10^24 we have 24+1 digits so 25
Y has 25 digits
Tell me if my demonstration has weaknesses, I do not master log.

ya pepeprepa ur right...
it would be 10^24 .i thought it would have 24 digits...
it will have n+1 digits... hence 25..
can someone confirm the OA.

Studying logs may be useful for your MBA course but is not tested on the GMAT, nor in all the official material I have, dating back to 1976, has it ever been tested on the GMAT.
On the mba.com website it mentions that the most important thing a student can do when studying is to focus on those areas that will help them the most. I believe that advice is sound. This is unlikely to help you increase your GMAT score.
