    If\[y={{e}^{nx}},\]then\[\left( \frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}} \right)\left( \frac{{{d}^{2}}x}{d{{y}^{2}}} \right)\]is equal to:   [JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 09 Apirl  2014  )

    A) \[n{{e}^{nx}}\]                                 

    B) \[n{{e}^{-nx}}\]

    C) 1                                             

    D) \[-n{{e}^{-nx}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Given that, \[y={{e}^{nx}}\] Differeniating both sides with respect to x \[\frac{dy}{dx}=n{{e}^{nx}}\]Again differentiating w.r.t 'x', \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=n.n{{e}^{nx}}={{n}^{2}}{{e}^{nx}}\] \[y={{e}^{nx}}\] \[nx={{\log }_{e}}y\] \[x=\frac{1}{n}\log y\] Differentiating x with respect to y\[\frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{1}{n}.\frac{1}{y}\] Again differentiating with respect to y \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}x}{d{{y}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{n}.\left( \frac{-1}{{{y}^{2}}} \right)=\frac{-1}{n{{y}^{2}}}=-\frac{1}{n{{e}^{2nx}}}\]          ??.(2) Multiplying equation (1) and (2) \[\left( \frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}} \right)\left( \frac{{{d}^{2}}x}{d{{y}^{2}}} \right)=({{n}^{2}}enx)\left( \frac{-1}{n}{{e}^{2nx}} \right)=-n{{e}^{-nx}}\]
