Let $x$ be chosen at random from the interval $(0,1)$. What is the probability that
$\lfloor\log_{10}4x\rfloor - \lfloor\log_{10}x\rfloor = 0$?
Here $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer that is less than or equal to $x$.

$\mathrm{(A)}\ \frac 18 \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ \frac 3{20} \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ \frac 16 \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ \frac 15  \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ \frac 14$
Let $k$ be an arbitrary integer. For which $x$ do we have $\lfloor\log_{10}4x\rfloor = \lfloor\log_{10}x\rfloor = k$?
The equation $\lfloor\log_{10}x\rfloor = k$ can be rewritten as $10^k \leq x < 10^{k+1}$. The second one gives us $10^k \leq 4x < 10^{k+1}$. Combining these, we get that both hold at the same time if and only if $10^k \leq x < \frac{10^{k+1}}4$.
Hence for each integer $k$ we get an interval of values for which $\lfloor\log_{10}4x\rfloor - \lfloor\log_{10}x\rfloor = 0$. These intervals are obviously pairwise disjoint.
For any $k\geq 0$ the corresponding interval is disjoint with $(0,1)$, so it does not contribute to our answer. On the other hand, for any $k<0$ the entire interval is inside $(0,1)$. Hence our answer is the sum of the lengths of the intervals for $k<0$.
For a fixed $k$ the length of the interval $\left[ 10^k, \frac{10^{k+1}}4 \right)$ is $\frac 32\cdot 10^k$. 
This means that our result is $\frac 32 \left( 10^{-1} + 10^{-2} + \cdots \right) = \frac 32 \cdot \frac 19 = \boxed{\frac 16}$.
