Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(e^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\quad y=\frac{\log x}{x}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{x \cdot \frac{1}{x}-\log x}{x^2}=\frac{1-\log x}{x^2}\) Put \(\quad \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \Rightarrow \log x=1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad x=e\) Now,…
