  2. B \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{e}}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{e}^{2 \cdot}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{e}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{e}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(y=\log _{x^2}(\log x)\)
\(\therefore \quad x^{2 y}=\log x\)
Differentiating w.r.t. \(x\), we get
\(\begin{aligned}
& x^{2 y}(\log x) \times 2 \times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{1}{x} \\
& \therefore \quad(\log x)^2 \times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{1}{2 x} \\
& \quad \text { At } x=\mathrm{e}, \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x)=\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{e}}
\end{aligned} \quad \ldots\left[\because x^{2 y}=\log x\right]\)
