Options:

A) $ k=e( 1-\frac{1}{a} ) $

B) $ k=e(1+a) $

C) $ k=e(2-a) $

D) The equality is not possible

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Let $ f(x)=\log x\Rightarrow {f}’,(x)=\frac{1}{x} $ Therefore, given function $ ={f}’(a)+k{f}’(e)=1 $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{a}+\frac{k}{e}=1\Rightarrow k=e,( \frac{a-1}{a} ) $ Aliter : Apply L-Hospital?s rule to find both the limits.
