Answer

Given: log x = 2m - 3n and log y = 3n - 2m

[∵ Using nlog a = log ana^n]

⇒ log x3x^3 = 3 log x = 3(2m - 3n)

= 6m - 9n

⇒ log y2y^2 = 2 log y = 2(3n - 2m)

= 6n - 4m

Now, log (x3÷y2)(x^3 \div y^2) = log (x3)(x^3) - log (y2)(y^2)

= 3log x - 2log y

= (6m - 9n) - (6n - 4m)

= 6m - 9n - 6n + 4m

= 6m + 4m - 9n - 6n

= 10m - 15n

Hence, the value of log (x3÷y2)(x^3 \div y^2) = 10m - 15n.
