Differentiation Question 257

Question: The differential coefficient of $ f[\log (x)] $ when $ f(x)=\log x $ is

[Kurukshetra CEE 1998; DCE 2000]

Options:

A) $ x\log x $

B) $ \frac{x}{\log x} $

C) $ \frac{1}{x\log x} $

D) $ \frac{\log x}{x} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \because f(x)=\log x $ ;
$ \therefore f[\log x]=\log \log x $

$ f’[\log x]=\frac{1}{\log x}.\frac{d}{dx}\log x=\frac{1}{x\log x} $ .
