Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\log x}{(1+\log x)^{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \((x e)^{y}=e^{x}\)
Taking log on both sides at base \(e\), we get
\(\begin{aligned}
y \log (x e) &=x \log e \\
\Rightarrow \quad & y(\log x+\log e) &=x\left(\because \log _{e} e=1\right) \\
\Rightarrow \quad y &=\frac{x}{\log x+1}
\end{aligned}\)
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. \(x\), we get
\(\begin{aligned}
\frac{d y}{d x} &=\frac{(\log x+1)-x\left(\frac{1}{x}+0\right)}{(\log x+1)^{2}} \\
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x} &=\frac{\log x}{(\log x+1)^{2}}
\end{aligned}\)
