  • $ - {{y{x^{y - 1}} + {y^x}\log y} \over {x{y^{x - 1}} + {x^y}\log x}}$
  • B
    ${{y{x^{y - 1}} + {y^x}\log y} \over {x{y^{x - 1}} + {x^y}\log x}}$
  • C
    $ - {{y{x^{y - 1}} + {y^x}} \over {x{y^{x - 1}} + {x^y}l}}$
  • D
    ${{y{x^{y - 1}} + {y^x}} \over {x{y^{x - 1}} + {x^y}}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ - {{y{x^{y - 1}} + {y^x}\log y} \over {x{y^{x - 1}} + {x^y}\log x}}$
a
(a) ${x^y} + {y^x} = {a^b}$;

Let ${x^y} = u$ and ${y^x} = v$

==> $u + v = {a^b}$

==>$\frac{{du}}{{dx}} + \frac{{dv}}{{dx}} = 0$

Now differentiating both by taking their $\log $ separately

$\frac{{du}}{{dx}} = {x^y}\left( {\frac{y}{x} + \frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\log x} \right)$ …..$(i)$

and $\frac{{dv}}{{dx}} = {y^x}\left( {\log y + \frac{x}{y}.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)$ …..$(ii)$

Therefore, by $(i)$ and $(ii),$ 

$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = - \frac{{y{x^{y - 1}} + {y^x}\log y}}{{{x^y}\log x + x{y^{x - 1}}}}$.
