Q86 / 155 · WBJEE 2019 · Mathematics

Let $f(x)>0$ for all $x$ and $f^{\prime}(x)$ exists for all $x$. If $f$ is the inverse function of $h$ and $h^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{1+\log x} \cdot$ Then, $f^{\prime}(x)$ will be

  • Correct answer
    A
    $1+\log (f(x))$
  • B
    $1+f(x)$
  • C
    $1-\log (f(x))$
  • D
    $\log f(x)$

Solution

Given, $$ h\{f(x)\}=x $$ differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get $$ \begin{array}{r} h^{\prime}\{f(x)\}, f^{\prime}(x)=1 \\ f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{h^{\prime}\{f(x)\}} \end{array} $$ $\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{1+\log \{f(x)\}}} & \\ \Rightarrow \quad\left[\because h^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{1+\log x}\right] \\ \Rightarrow & f^{\prime}(x)=1+\log (f(x)) \end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
