    If\[f(x)=\cos ({{\log }_{e}}x),\]then \[f(x)f(y)-\frac{1}{2}\left[ f\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)+f(xy) \right]\]has the value:

    A)  1                                            

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

    C)  \[-2\]                   

    D)         0

    E)  \[-1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[f(x)=\cos ({{\log }_{e}}x)\] \[\therefore \]\[f(x)f(y)-\frac{1}{2}\left[ f\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)+f(xy) \right]\]                 \[=\cos ({{\log }_{e}}x)\cos ({{\log }_{e}}y)\]                 \[-\frac{1}{2}\left[ \cos {{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)+\cos {{\log }_{e}}(xy) \right]\]\[=\cos ({{\log }_{e}}x)\cos ({{\log }_{e}}y)-\frac{2}{2}\cos ({{\log }_{e}}x)\]                                                 \[\times \cos ({{\log }_{e}}y)\]                                   \[=0\]
