We can simplify the given expression by using change of base theorem which goes like this : l o g p q = l o g k q l o g k p log_{p}{q} = \frac{log_{k}{q}}{log_{k}{p}}

The expression will get simplified to , lim x 1 l o g ( x + 1 ) × ( l o g ( x + 2 ) l o g ( x + 1 ) ) × ( l o g ( x + 3 ) l o g ( x + 2 ) ) . . . . . . . × ( l o g ( x + 98 ) l o g ( x + 97 ) ) × ( l o g ( x + 99 ) l o g ( x + 98 ) ) \lim_{x \to 1} log(x+1)\times (\frac{log(x+2)}{log(x+1)}) \times (\frac{log(x+3)}{log(x+2)}) .......\times (\frac{log(x+98)}{log(x+97)}) \times (\frac{log(x+99)}{log(x+98)})

which simplifies to, lim x 1 l o g ( x + 99 ) \lim_{x \to 1} log(x+99)

l o g 100 = 2 \Rightarrow log 100 = \boxed {2}

So we get the answer as 2 2
