B) 4e

C) 2e

D) $ 4e^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Given, $ \frac{f’(x)}{f(x)}=1\forall x\in R $
    Integrating both sides,

    we get $ \log f(x)=x+C\Rightarrow f(x)={e^{x+C}}=e^{x}.e^{C} $ $ \because $ $ f(1)=2\Rightarrow f(1)=e.e^{C}=2 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ e^{C}=\frac{2}{e}\Rightarrow C=\log \frac{2}{e} $
    $ \therefore $ $ f(x)=e^{x}.\frac{2}{e}=2{e^{x-1}} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ f’(x)=2{e^{x-1}} $ Now, $ h(x)=(f(x)) $
    $ \therefore $ $ h’(x)=f’(f(x)).f’(x) $
    $ \therefore $ $ h’(1)=f’(f(1)).f’(1)=f’(2)f’(1) $ $ =2e.2=4e $
