Hi Vishrant,

The value of √ should always be positive √(x2) =|x|

Therefore the answer is 2

hi Vishant

you should remember that √(a2)=|a|

so √(log20.5 4)=|log0.5 4|

                         =|log2-1 22|

                           =|-2 log22|

                          =2 log22

                           =2        { sinse we know logaa=1}

so option 3 is correct
