The correct answer is: 4loge22-2

Given, y=xx

lny=xlnx

Differentiate both sides w.r.t. x

1y.y'=1+lnx

y'=y1+lnx .......(1)

y'=xx1+lnx

at x=2y=4

So, y'(2)=41+ln2 .......(2)

Now differentiate the equation 1,

y"=y'1+lnx+yx

y"(2)=y'1+ln2+2

y"(2)-y'(2)=y'(ln2)+2

y"(2)-2y'(2)=ln2-1y'(2)+2

=4(ln2-1)(ln2+1)+2

=4ln22-2
