If $\int \frac{d x}{x(\log x-2)(\log x-3)}=I+C$, then $I$ is equal to

If $\int \frac{d x}{x(\log x-2)(\log x-3)}=I+C$, then $I$ is equal to
  1. $\frac{1}{x} \log \left|\frac{\log x-3}{\log x-2}\right|$
  2. $\log \left|\frac{\log x-3}{\log x-2}\right|$
  3. $\log \left|\frac{\log x-2}{\log x-3}\right|$
  4. $\log |(\log x-3)(\log x-2)|$

Solution

Let $I_1=\int \frac{d x}{x(\log x-2)(\log x-3)}$ Let $t=\log x \Rightarrow d t=\frac{d x}{x}$ $ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad I_1 & =\int \frac{d t}{(t-2)(t-3)} \\ & =\int\left[\frac{1}{(t-3)}-\frac{1}{(t-2)}\right] d t \\ & =\log |(t-3)|-\log |(t-2)|+C \\ & =\log \left|\frac{\log x-3}{\log x-2}\right|+C \\ \Rightarrow \quad I_1 & =\int \frac{d x}{x(\log x-2)(\log x-3)} \\ & =\log \left|\frac{\log x-3}{\log x-2}\right|+C \end{aligned} $ But given, $\int \frac{d x}{x(\log x-2)(\log x-3)}=I+C$ On comparing, we get $ I=\log \left|\frac{\log x-3}{\log x-1}\right| $
