MCQ
The function $f(x) = {{\log x} \over x}$ is increasing in the interval
  • A
    $(1,\,2e)$
  • $(0,e)$
  • C
    $(2, 2e)$
  • D
    $(1/e, 2e)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(0,e)$
b
(b) $f(x) = \frac{{\log x}}{x}$

$f'(x) = \frac{1}{{{x^2}}} - \frac{{\log x}}{{{x^2}}} = \frac{{1 - \log x}}{{{x^2}}}$

For $f(x)$ to be increasing, $f'(x) > 0$

==> $1 - \log x > 0$ ==> $1 > \log x$ ==> $e > x$

$f(x)$ is increasing in the interval $(0,\,e)$.
