If number has three digits in integral part, then its characteristic is

  • A.2
  • B.3
  • C.4

Answer: A

For a number greater than 1, the characteristic is one less than the number of digits before the decimal point.

\[ \text{characteristic} = (\text{digits in integral part}) - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 \]

For example \( \log 342 = 2.5340 \), and 342 has three digits. This works because \( 100 \leq 342 < 1000 \), so the logarithm lies between 2 and 3.
