  1. A \(e\)
  2. B 0
  3. C 1
  4. D \(\frac{1}{e}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{e}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} \cdot x - \log x \cdot 1}{x^2} = \frac{1 - \log x}{x^2}\) \(f'(x) = 0 \implies 1 - \log x = 0 \implies \log x = 1 \implies x = e\) \(f(e) = \frac{\log e}{e} = \frac{1}{e}\) At the interval boundary: \(f(2) = \frac{\log 2}{2}\) As \(x \to \infty\),…
