[Orissa JEE 2002]

Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{x(In\text{5)(In}\text{7)(lo}{g_7}x)} $

B) $ \frac{1}{x(ln\text{5)(ln}\text{7)}} $

C) $ \frac{1}{x(Inx)} $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ f(x)={\log_5}({\log_7}x) $

Therefore $ f(x)={\log_5}( \frac{{\log _{e}}x}{{\log _{e}}7} ) $

Therefore $ f(x)={\log_5}{\log _{e}}x-{\log_5}{\log _{e}}7 $

Therefore $ f(x)=\frac{{\log _{e}}{\log _{e}}x}{{\log _{e}}5}-{\log_5}{\log _{e}}7 $

$ {f}’(x)=\frac{1}{x{\log _{e}}x\log 5}-0 $

$ {f}’(x)=\frac{1}{x{\log _{e}}x\frac{{\log _{e}}5}{{\log _{e}}7}{\log _{e}}7} $

$ =\frac{1}{x(\ln 5)(\ln 7)({\log_7}x)} $ .
