keep in mind this rule for logs: log(a) - log(b) = log(a/b) So this simplifies to 10^(log(3)). Now keep in mind what a log is interior the 1st place. that's the quantity for you to enhance 10 to the skill of, with a view to get the quantity back. So 10^(log(3)) is in simple terms 3.
10^(log12 - log4) =10^(log12/3)
=10^(log3)
Let x= 10^(log3)
taking log on both sides,we get
logx= log{10^(log3)}
or logx= log3{log10} Since log 10 = 1
or logx = log 3
or x= 3
Hence answer is b. 3
