The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the differential coefficient of \( f(\log_e x) \) where \( f(x) = \log_e x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the function**: We have \( f(x) = \log_e x \). We need to evaluate \( f(\log_e x) \). \[ f(\log_e x) = \log_e(\log_e x) \] 2. **Differentiate \( f(\log_e x) \)**: We will use the chain rule for differentiation. The chain rule states that if you have a composite function \( g(h(x)) \), then the derivative is given by \( g'(h(x)) \cdot h'(x) \). Let \( u = \log_e x \). Then, we need to differentiate \( \log_e u \) with respect to \( x \). \[ \frac{d}{dx}[\log_e(\log_e x)] = \frac{1}{\log_e x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[\log_e x] \] 3. **Differentiate \( \log_e x \)**: The derivative of \( \log_e x \) with respect to \( x \) is: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[\log_e x] = \frac{1}{x} \] 4. **Combine the derivatives**: Now we substitute back into our differentiation: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[\log_e(\log_e x)] = \frac{1}{\log_e x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \] Therefore, we have: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[\log_e(\log_e x)] = \frac{1}{x \log_e x} \] 5. **Final Result**: The differential coefficient of \( f(\log_e x) \) with respect to \( x \) is: \[ \frac{1}{x \log_e x} \] ### Conclusion: The answer is \( \frac{1}{x \log_e x} \), which corresponds to option C.
