Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

If the function $f(x)=\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2 x} ; x>0$ attains the maximum value at $x=\frac{1}{\mathrm{e}}$ then :

  1. A $\mathrm{e}^\pi<\pi^{\mathrm{e}}$
  2. B $\mathrm{e}^{2 \pi}<(2 \pi)^{\mathrm{e}}$
  3. C $(2 e)^\pi>\pi^{(2 e)}$
  4. D $\mathrm{e}^\pi>\pi^{\mathrm{e}}$ Correct answer

Solution

<p>$$f\left(\frac{1}{\pi}\right)< f\left(\frac{1}{e}\right) \quad \text { as } \frac{1}{\pi}<\frac{1}{e}$$</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{1}\right)^{\frac{2}{\pi}}<\left(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{e}}\right)^{\frac{2}{e}} \\ & \Rightarrow(\pi)^{\frac{2}{\pi}}<(e)^{\frac{2}{e}} \\ & \Rightarrow \pi^e < e^\pi \end{aligned}$$</p>
