    If \[f\,(x)=\int\limits_{1}^{x}{\frac{x\,f\,(x)+1}{{{x}^{2}}}}\,\,d\,x\] and \[f\,(2)=\frac{3}{4},\] then \[f'\,(1)\] is

    A) 1

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

    C) \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    D) 0

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[f\,(x)=\int\limits_{1}^{x}{\frac{x\,f\,(x)+1}{{{x}^{2}}}}\,\,dx\]
    \[f\,(x)=\frac{x\,f\,(x)+1}{{{x}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{x}\,f\,(x)+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}\]
    i.e.        \[f'\,(x)-\frac{1}{x}f\,(x)=\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}\]
    Which is linear differential equation on solving it, we get
    \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{1}{x}f\,(x)=\int{\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}}\,\,dx+c=-\frac{1}{2{{x}^{2}}}+c\]
    i.e.        \[f\,(x)=-\frac{1}{2x}+cx\]        
    \[\frac{3}{4}=f\,(2)=-\frac{1}{4}+2c\]   \[\Rightarrow \]   \[c=\frac{1}{2}\]
    \[f'\,(x)=-\frac{1}{2{{x}^{2}}}+c\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[f'\,(1)=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=1\]
