    If\[\int_{2}^{e}{\left( \frac{1}{\log x}-\frac{1}{{{(\log x)}^{2}}} \right)dx=a+\frac{b}{\log 2}}\],then

    A) \[a=e,\,\,b=-2\]               

    B)        \[a=e,\,\,b=2\]

    C) \[a=-e,\,\,b=2\]               

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, \[\int_{2}^{e}{\left( \frac{1}{\log x}-\frac{1}{{{(\log x)}^{2}}} \right)dx=a+\frac{b}{\log 2}}\] put\[\log x=z\]  \[\Rightarrow \]  \[x={{e}^{z}}\]  \[\Rightarrow \]  \[dx={{e}^{z}}dz\] \[\therefore \]  \[\int_{2}^{e}{\left( \frac{1}{\log x}-\frac{1}{{{(\log x)}^{2}}} \right)dx}\]                 \[=\int_{\log 2}^{1}{\left( \frac{1}{z}-\frac{1}{{{z}^{2}}} \right){{e}^{z}}dz}\]                 \[=\int_{\log 2}^{1}{{{e}^{z}}\left( \frac{1}{z}+d\left( \frac{1}{z} \right) \right)dz}\]                 \[=\left[ {{e}^{z}}\cdot \frac{1}{z} \right]_{\log 2}^{1}=e-\frac{2}{\log 2}\] \[\therefore \]  \[a=e\]and\[b=-2\]
