    If\[{{x}^{y}}={{e}^{2(x-y)}},\]then\[\frac{dy}{dx}\]is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{2(1+\log x)}{{{(2+\log x)}^{2}}}\]                              

    B)  \[\frac{1+\log x}{{{(2+\log x)}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2}{2+\log x}\]    

    D)         \[\frac{2(1-\log x)}{{{(2+\log x)}^{2}}}\]

    E)  \[\frac{2+\log x}{{{(2+\log x)}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have\[{{x}^{y}}={{e}^{2(x-y)}}\] Taking log on both sides, we have \[\log ({{x}^{y}})=\log ({{e}^{2(x-y)}})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y\log x=2(x-y)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=\frac{2x}{\log x+z}\]                               ?. (i) Differentiating w.r.t.\[x,\]we have                 \[y.\frac{1}{x}+\frac{dy}{dx}\log x=2\left( 1-\frac{dy}{dx} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}(\log x+2)=2-\frac{y}{x}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x-y}{x(2+\log x)}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x-\frac{2x}{2+\log x}}{x(2+\log x)}\][using Eq.(i)]                 \[=\frac{2x(1+\log x)}{x{{(2+\log x)}^{2}}}\]                 \[=\frac{2(1+\log x)}{{{(2+\log x)}^{2}}}\]
