    In the expansion of \[2{{\log }_{e}}x-{{\log }_{e}}(x+1)-{{\log }_{e}}(x-1)\] the coefficient of \[{{x}^{-4}}\]is:

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]                                   

    B)                   \[-1\]                   

    C)                   1                                            

    D)                   none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[2{{\log }_{e}}x-{{\log }_{e}}(x+1)-{{\log }_{e}}(x-1)\] \[=\log {{x}^{2}}-\log ({{x}^{2}}-1)\] \[=-\log \left( \frac{{{x}^{2}}-1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)=-\log \left( 1-\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)\] \[=\left[ \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{2}{{\left( \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}+\frac{1}{3}{{\left( \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{3}}+... \right]\] The coefficient of \[{{x}^{-4}}=\frac{1}{2}\]
