    The value of integral \[\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{{{x}^{b}}-1}{\log x}}\,dx\] is

    A)                 \[\log b\]            

    B)                 \[2\log (b+1)\]

    C)                 \[3\log b\]          

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       Let  \[I(b)=\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{{{x}^{b}}-1}{\log x}}dx\Rightarrow I'(b)=\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{{{x}^{b}}\log x}{\log x}dx}\]            (If \[I(\alpha )=\int_{0}^{b}{f(x,\alpha )dx}\], then \[I'(\alpha )=\int_{0}^{b}{f'(x,\alpha )dx}\], where \[f'(x,\alpha )\] is derivative of \[f(x,\alpha )\] w.r.t. \[\alpha \] keeping x constant)                 \[{I}'(b)=\int_{0}^{1}{{{x}^{b}}dx=\frac{1}{b+1}}\]            Þ \[I(b)=\int{\frac{db}{b+1}+c=\log (b+1)+c}\]                 If \[b=0\], then \[I(b)=0\], so \[c=0\]Þ\[I(b)=\log (b+1)\].
