Solution

The correct option is C

fx+fy=fx+y1+xy


Explanation for correct answer :

Step 1 : Find f(x),f(y)

The given function is fx=log1+x1-x

Replace x with y.

fy=log1+y1-y

For x>0 and a1, y=logax if an only if x=a,

the function given by fx=logax is called as the logarithmic function with base a.

Step 2: Find f(x)+f(y)

We will simplify the L. H. S. of the equation fx+fy=fx+y1+xy.

L.H.S. =fx+fy

fx+fy=log1+x1-x+log1+y1-y

=log1+x1-x×1+y1-y

Apply the logarithmic property logab=loga+logb. We get,

=log1+y+x+xy1-y-x+xy

Step 3: Find f(x+y) and compare LHS and RHS

Now, We will simplify the R. H. S. of the equation fx+fy=fx+y1+xy.

R.H.S.

fx+y1+xy=log1+x+y1+xy1-x+y1+xy

=log1+xy+x+y1+xy-x-y

Thus, L.H.S.=R.H.S.

Explanation for incorrect options

Option A: fx+2-2fx+1+fx=0

We will simplify the equation fx+2-2fx+1+fx=0.

fx+2-2fx+1+fx=logx+2-x-1-2logx+2-x+logx+11-x

=logx+3-x2-x+1x+22×x+11-x

=logx3+3x2-x2+4+4x-x3-4x-4x2

=logx3+3x2x3+3x2+4

So, logx3+3x2x3+3x2+40

Option B: fx+fx+1=fxx+1

We will simplify the L. H. S. of the equation fx+fx+1=fxx+1.

L.H.S. =fx+fx+1

fx+fx+1=logx+2-x+log1+x1-x

=logx+21+xxx-1

Now, We will simplify the R. H. S. of the equation fx+fx+1=fxx+1.

R.H.S. =fxx+1

fxx+1=log1+xx+11-xx+1

So, L.H.S.R.H.S.

Option D: fx+y=fx·fy

We will simplify the L. H. S. of the equation fx+y=fx·fy.

L.H.S. =fx+y

=log1+x1x21-x1x2

Now

R.H.S. =fx·fy

=log1+x1+x21-x1-x2

So, L.H.S.R.H.S.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
