Options:
  • A $\frac{e^x\{1+(x+2) \log x\}}{x^3}$
  • B $\frac{e^x\{1-(x-2) \log x\}}{x^4}$
  • C $\frac{e^x\{1-(x-2) \log x\}}{x^3}$
  • D $\frac{e^x\{1+(x-2) \log x\}}{x^3}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{e^x\{1+(x-2) \log x\}}{x^3}$
It is given that,
$$
y=\frac{e^x \log x}{x^2}
$$

On applying logarithm both sides, we get
$$
\log _e y=x+\log _e(\log x)-2 \log x
$$

Now, on differentiating both sides w.r.t ' $x$ ', we get
$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{y}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right) & =1+\frac{1}{x \log x}-\frac{2}{x} \\
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =y\left(1+\frac{1}{x \log x}-\frac{2}{x}\right)
\end{aligned}
$$

$$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{e^x \log x}{x^2}\left(\frac{x \log x+1-2 \log x}{x \log x}\right) \\
& =\frac{e^x}{x^3}[1+(x-2) \log x]
\end{aligned}
$$

Hence, option (4) is correct.
