    The function \[f(x)=\frac{x}{\log x}\] increases on the interval

    A) \[(0,\,\,\infty )\]                              

    B) \[(0,\,\,e)\]

    C) \[(e,\,\,\infty )\]                             

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Clearly, \[f(x)\] is denned for\[x>0\] Now, \[f(x)=\frac{x}{\log x}\Rightarrow f'(x)=\frac{\log x-1}{{{(\log x)}^{2}}}\] For \[f(x)\] to be increasing\[f'(x)>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\log x-1>0\Rightarrow \log x>1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x>e\Rightarrow x\in (e,\,\,\infty )\]
