Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

Let $f: \mathbb{R}-\{0\} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function satisfying $f\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=\frac{f(x)}{f(y)}$ for all $x, y, f(y) \neq 0$. If $f^{\prime}(1)=2024$, then

  1. A $x f^{\prime}(x)+2024 f(x)=0$
  2. B $x f^{\prime}(x)-2023 f(x)=0$
  3. C $x f^{\prime}(x)-2024 f(x)=0$ Correct answer
  4. D $x f^{\prime}(x)+f(x)=2024$

Solution

<p>$f\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=\frac{f(x)}{f(y)}$</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)=2024 \\ & \mathrm{f}(1)=1 \end{aligned}$$</p> <p>Partially differentiating w. r. t. x</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}^{\prime}\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{\mathrm{y}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{y})} \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x}) \\ & \mathrm{y} \rightarrow \mathrm{x} \\ & \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1) \cdot \frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})} \\ & 2024 \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{xf}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x}) \Rightarrow \mathrm{xf}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})-2024 \mathrm{~f}(\mathrm{x})=0 \end{aligned}$$</p>
