Which of the following options is the only correct combination?

• A. (II)(iv)(Q)
• B. (II)(iii)(Q)
• C. (II)(i)(P)
• D. (IV)(i)(R)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (II)(i)(P)


$f\left(x\right)=x^{2}logx$
$f^{\prime }\left(x\right)=x(2logx+1)$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{e}}$

$f\left(x\right)=xlogx$
$f^{\prime }\left(x\right)=1+logx$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{e}$

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{logx}{x}$
$f^{\prime }\left(x\right)=\frac{1-logx}{x^2}$
$\Rightarrow x=e$

$f\left(x\right)=x^{-x}$
$f^{\prime }\left(x\right)=-x^{-x}(1+logx)$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{e}$
