If $y=\frac{e^x \log x}{x^2}$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}=$

If $y=\frac{e^x \log x}{x^2}$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}=$
  1. $\frac{e^x\{1+(x+2) \log x\}}{x^3}$
  2. $\frac{e^x\{1-(x-2) \log x\}}{x^4}$
  3. $\frac{e^x\{1-(x-2) \log x\}}{x^3}$
  4. $\frac{e^x\{1+(x-2) \log x\}}{x^3}$

Solution

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
