    What is the value of\[\int_{1}^{2}{{{e}^{x}}\left( \frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)dx}\]?

    A) \[e\left( \frac{e}{2}-1 \right)\]

    B) \[e(e-1)\]

    C) \[e-\frac{1}{e}\]

    D) 0

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[I=\int_{1}^{2}{{{e}^{x}}\left( \frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)dx}\] \[=\int\limits_{1}^{2}{{{e}^{x}}(f(x)+f'(x))dx}\] where \[f(x)=\frac{1}{x}\] \[={{e}^{x}}f\left. (x) \right|_{1}^{2}\] \[\therefore I=\left. \frac{{{e}^{x}}}{x} \right|_{1}^{2}=\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{2}-e=e\left( \frac{e}{2}-1 \right)\]
