Solution

The correct option is D


Given that,

y=(x1)2(x+2)3

We need to use logarithmic differentiation since the function is a product of 2 factors and involves powers.

Upon taking logarithm this changes into addition and multiplication respectively.

lny = 2.ln(x-1)+3.ln(x+2)

Differentiating both sides.

1y.y=2(x1)+3x+2 (Chain rule is applied on the LHS)

y=y[2x1+3x+2]

Hence answer is option (d).
