JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
dxx(x+1)(ln(x+1)lnx)11\displaystyle\int \dfrac{dx}{x(x+1)\,\big(\ln(x+1)-\ln x\big)^{11}} equals
A110(ln(x+1)lnx)10+C\dfrac{1}{10\big(\ln(x+1)-\ln x\big)^{10}}+Ccorrect
B(ln(x+1)lnx)1010+C\dfrac{\big(\ln(x+1)-\ln x\big)^{10}}{10}+C
C111(ln(x+1)lnx)11+C\dfrac{1}{11\big(\ln(x+1)-\ln x\big)^{11}}+C
D(ln(x+1)lnx)1111+C\dfrac{\big(\ln(x+1)-\ln x\big)^{11}}{11}+C
Solution
Step 1: Substitute t=ln(x+1)lnx=lnx+1xt=\ln(x+1)-\ln x=\ln\dfrac{x+1}{x}. Step 2: Differentiate:
dt=(1x+11x)dx=x(x+1)x(x+1)dx=dxx(x+1)dt=\left(\dfrac{1}{x+1}-\dfrac{1}{x}\right)dx=\dfrac{x-(x+1)}{x(x+1)}\,dx=-\dfrac{dx}{x(x+1)}
dxx(x+1)=dt\Rightarrow \dfrac{dx}{x(x+1)}=-\,dt
Step 3: Rewrite the integral:
I=1t11(dt)=t11dtI=\int\dfrac{1}{t^{11}}\,(-dt)=-\int t^{-11}\,dt
Step 4: Integrate:
=t1010=t1010=110t10=-\dfrac{t^{-10}}{-10}=\dfrac{t^{-10}}{10}=\dfrac{1}{10\,t^{10}}
Step 5: Back-substitute t=ln(x+1)lnxt=\ln(x+1)-\ln x:
I=110(ln(x+1)lnx)10+CI=\dfrac{1}{10\big(\ln(x+1)-\ln x\big)^{10}}+C
Correct answer: (1)
