    Derivative of the function \[f(x)={{\log }_{5}}({{\log }_{7}}x)\], \[x>7\] is [Orissa JEE 2002]

    A)            \[\frac{1}{x(\text{In}\,\text{5)(In}\,\text{7)(lo}{{\text{g}}_{\text{7}}}x)}\]

    B)            \[\frac{1}{x(\text{ln}\,\text{5)(ln}\,\text{7)}}\]

    C)            \[\frac{1}{x(In\,x)}\]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[f(x)={{\log }_{5}}({{\log }_{7}}x)\] Þ  \[f(x)={{\log }_{5}}\left( \frac{{{\log }_{e}}x}{{{\log }_{e}}7} \right)\]            Þ  \[f(x)={{\log }_{5}}{{\log }_{e}}x-{{\log }_{5}}{{\log }_{e}}7\]            Þ  \[f(x)=\frac{{{\log }_{e}}{{\log }_{e}}x}{{{\log }_{e}}5}-{{\log }_{5}}{{\log }_{e}}7\]            \[{f}'(x)=\frac{1}{x{{\log }_{e}}x\log 5}-0\]                    \[{f}'(x)=\frac{1}{x{{\log }_{e}}x\frac{{{\log }_{e}}5}{{{\log }_{e}}7}{{\log }_{e}}7}\]\[=\frac{1}{x(\ln 5)(\ln 7)({{\log }_{7}}x)}\].
