Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4 e^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=x(\log x)^2\) For maximum value \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x} & =x\left(2 \log x \cdot \frac{1}{x}\right)+(\log x)^2 \\ & =2 \log x+(\log x)^2 \end{aligned} \] Now, put \(\frac{d y}{d x}=0\)…
