    If \[{{x}^{y}}={{y}^{x}},\] then \[\frac{dy}{dx}\] is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}-xy\,\log \,y}{{{x}^{2}}-xy\,\log \,x}\]

    B)  \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}+xy\,\log \,y}{{{x}^{2}}+xy\,\log \,x}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}-xy\,\log \,x}{{{x}^{2}}-xy\,\log \,y}\]

    D)  \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}+xy\,\log \,y}{{{x}^{2}}-xy\,\log \,x}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given,    \[{{x}^{y}}={{y}^{x}}\] Taking log both sides, we get \[y\,\log \,x=x\,\log \,y\] On differentiating w.r.t.x,  we get \[\frac{y}{x}+\log x\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}+\log y\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\log y-\frac{y}{x}}{\log x-\frac{x}{y}}\] \[=\frac{xy\,\log \,y-{{y}^{2}}}{xy\,\log \,x-{{x}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{{{y}^{2}}-xy\,\log \,y}{{{x}^{2}}-xy\,\log \,x}\]
