For all x ∈ (0,1).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
(A) Let $f(x)=e^x-1-x$
$⇒f'(x)=e^x-1>0,∀\,x∈(0,1)$
So, f(x) is increasing, when 0 < x < 1
⇒ f(x) > f(0) or $e^x-1-x>0⇒e^x-1+x$
(B) Let $g(x)=\log_e(1+x)-x$
$⇒g'(x)=\frac{1}{1+x}-1=\frac{-x}{1+x}<0,∀\,x∈(0,1)$
So, g(x) is decreasing, when 0 < x < 1
$⇒g(0)>g(x)⇒\log_e(1+x)<x$
(C) Let h(x) = sin x - x
$⇒h'(x)=\cos x-1<0,∀\,x∈(0,1)$
So, h(x) is decreasing, where 0 < x < 1
⇒ h(x) < h(0)
∵ sin x < x
(D) Let $g(x)=\log_e\,x-x⇒g'(x)=\frac{1}{x}-1$
$∴g'(x)>0,∀\,x∈(0,1)⇒\log_e\,x-x<-1⇒x-1>\log_e\,x$
$⇒x>\log_e\,x$
