    If \[f(x)={{\log }_{x}}({{\log }_{e}}x)\], then \[f'(x)\] at \[x=e\] is equal to:

    A) \[1\]                                     

    B) \[2\]

    C) \[0\]                                     

    D) \[1/e\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We have,                 \[f(x)={{\log }_{x}}({{\log }_{e}}x)\]                          \[=\frac{{{\log }_{e}}{{\log }_{e}}x}{{{\log }_{e}}x}\] On differentiating w.r.t.\[~x,\] we get \[f'(x)=\frac{{{\log }_{e}}x\cdot \frac{1}{{{\log }_{e}}x}\cdot \frac{1}{x}-{{\log }_{e}}{{\log }_{e}}x\cdot \frac{1}{x}}{{{({{\log }_{e}}x)}^{2}}}\]                        \[=\frac{1-{{\log }_{e}}{{\log }_{e}}x}{x{{({{\log }_{e}}x)}^{2}}}\] At\[x=e\],            \[f'(e)=\frac{1-{{\log }_{e}}{{\log }_{e}}e}{e{{({{\log }_{e}}e)}^{2}}}=\frac{1-0}{e}\]                       \[=\frac{1}{e}\]
