The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: When the logarithms are given in a different base, we use the Change of Base Formula: \[ \log_a b=\frac{\log_c b}{\log_c a} \] Here, logarithms to base 10 are provided.

Step 1: Apply the change of base formula.
\[ \log_3 7 = \frac{\log_{10}7}{\log_{10}3} \] Substituting the given values: \[ \log_3 7 = \frac{0.8450}{0.4771} \]

Step 2: Perform the division.
\[ \frac{0.8450}{0.4771} \approx 1.771 \] Therefore, \[ \log_3 7 \approx 1.771 \] 1.771
