Show Answer

Correct Answer :

2890

Solution :

The correct answer is 2890.

We are given a differentiable function f:(0,)R satisfying:

f(x)-f(y)logexy+x-y,x,y(0,)

Step 1: Derive a bound from the inequality by swapping x and y.

The given condition holds for all x, y in (0, ∞). If we swap x and y, we get:

f(y)-f(x)logeyx+y-x

Multiplying both sides by -1 (and flipping the inequality):

f(x)-f(y)logexy+x-y

Step 2: Combine both inequalities to get an equality.

From the original condition we have f(x)-f(y)logexy+x-y, and from Step 1 we have f(x)-f(y)logexy+x-y. Therefore:

f(x)-f(y)=logexy+x-y

Step 3: Differentiate with respect to x to find f'(x).

Differentiating both sides with respect to x (treating y as a constant):

f'(x)=1x+1

Step 4: Compute f'(1/n²).

Substituting x=1n2:

f'1n2=11n2+1=n2+1

Step 5: Evaluate the required summation.

n=120f'1n2=n=120(n2+1)=n=120n2+n=1201

Using the standard formula n=1Nn2=N(N+1)(2N+1)6 with N = 20:

n=120n2=20×21×416=172206=2870

And:

n=1201=20

Therefore:

n=120f'1n2=2870+20=2890
