    If \[y={{(1+1/x)}^{x}}\] then \[\frac{2\sqrt{{{y}_{2}}(2)+1/8}}{(log\,3/2-1/3)}\] is equal to-

    A) 3

    B) 4

    C) 1

    D) 2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[y={{\left( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{x}}\]
    Taking logarithm of both sides, we get
    \[\log y=x\left[ \log \left( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right) \right]\]
    \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{y}{{y}_{1}}(x)=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{x+1}\left( -\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)+\log \left( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right)\]
    \[=-\frac{1}{x+1}+\log \left( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right)...(1)\]
    Since, \[y(2)={{(1+1/2)}^{2}}=9/4\]
    So, \[{{y}_{1}}(2)=(9/4)\left( -\frac{1}{3}+\log \frac{3}{2} \right)\]
    Again differentiate eq. (1) w.r.t (x), we get
    \[\frac{y(x){{y}_{2}}(x)-{{[{{y}_{1}}(x)]}^{2}}}{{{(y(x))}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{{{(1+x)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{x(x+1)}\]
    By putting \[x=2\], we get
    \[\frac{y(2){{y}_{2}}(2)-{{({{y}_{1}}(2))}^{2}}}{{{(y(2))}^{2}}}=\frac{-1}{18}\]
    Now, put value of y(2) and \[{{y}_{1}}(2)\]
    \[\Rightarrow {{y}_{2}}(2)=\left( \frac{9}{4} \right){{\left( -\frac{1}{3}+\log \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{2}}-\frac{1}{8}\]
    \[{{\left( {{y}_{2}}(2)+\frac{1}{8} \right)}^{4}}=9{{\left( \log \frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{3} \right)}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] Required expression = 3
