Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Let $ I=\int\limits_1^{e}{{ {{( \frac{x}{e} )}^{2x}}-{{( \frac{e}{x} )}^{x}} }}{\log_e}xdx $ $ ={{\int\limits_1^{e}{( \frac{x}{e} )}}^{2x}}{\log_e}xdx-\int\limits_1^{e}{{{( \frac{e}{x} )}^{x}}}{\log_e}xdx $
    Let $ {{( \frac{x}{e} )}^{2x}}=u $ and $ {{( \frac{e}{x} )}^{x}}=v $
    When $ x=1,u={{( \frac{1}{x} )}^{2}} $ and $ v=e $
    And when $ x=e,u=1 $ and $ v=1 $ Now, $ 2x\log ( \frac{x}{e} )=\log u $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ 2[ \log ( \frac{x}{e} )+x\frac{e}{x}.\frac{1}{e} ]dx=\frac{du}{u} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ 2[logx-1+1]dx=\frac{du}{u} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \log xdx=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{du}{u} $ and $ x\log ( \frac{e}{x} )=\log v\Rightarrow x(1-logx)=logv $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ x-x\log x=\log v $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ ( 1-\log x-x.\frac{1}{x} )dx=\frac{dv}{v} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ -\log xdx=\frac{dv}{v} $
    $ \therefore $ $ I=\frac{1}{2}\int\limits _{{{( \frac{1}{e} )}^{2}}}^{1}{u\frac{du}{u}}+\int\limits_e^{1}{v\frac{dv}{v}} $ $ =\frac{1}{2}( 1-\frac{1}{e^{2}} )+(1-e)=\frac{3}{2}-e-\frac{1}{2e^{2}} $
