    The set of real values of x for which \[f(x)=\frac{x}{\log \,x}\]is increasing, is

    A) \[\{x:x\ge e\}\]

    B) empty

    C) \[\{x:x<e\}\]

    D) \[\{1\}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[f(x)=\frac{x}{\log x}\] \[f(x)=\frac{\log x.1-x.\frac{1}{x}}{{{(\log x)}^{2}}}=\frac{(\log x-1)}{{{(\log x)}^{2}}}\] We know that, \[f(x)\]is increasing (strictly) When \[f'(x)>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{(\log x-1)}{{{(\log x)}^{2}}}>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(\log x-1)>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\log x>1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\log }_{e}}x>{{\log }_{e}}e\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x>e\] Hence, \[x:x\ge e\]
