if the base of the log lies between 0 and 1 ther log  0 is c) infinity and if the base is >1 then log o is b) ie. -infinity

all those saying infinite are wrong.you too, think that if we raise any number to the power -infinite then only answer is 0

IT DEPENDS ON THE BASE OF LOG ..IF BASE LIE B/W 0 TO 1 THEN IT WOULD BE + INFINITY....FOR BASE > 1 IT WOULD BE - INFINITY...

consider the graph of logX.when X approaches to zero, logX approaches to infinity. hence the option (B)is correct.

log 0 doesn't have any value to be specific.

Infite is not a number, it is a symbol to indicate a very large number.

so nothing can be equal to infinite, it always TENDS to infinite.

log 0 tends to +ve infinite for base below 1 and -ve infinite for above it.

and log is defined for +ve base only, except 1.........!!!!

"log 0" is meaningless..... because... whenver we operate log to the base anythng to a "nmbr"... then ans what we get must be an element... wich when raised to the base must give u the "nmbr" back ...... so based on this basic concept..... we can say that anythng raised to anythng is nvr zero... so there exists no logarithm for zero...
