Explanation:

logxxy+logyyx = logx x - logx y + logy y - logy x

logxxy+logyyx = 1 - logx y + 1 - logy x

⇒ logxxy+logyyx = 2 - logx y - logy x

⇒ logxxy+logyyx = 2 - (logx y + logy x)

As x ≥ y and y > 1,
logy x ≥ 0
Now, (logx y + logy x) = logxy+1logxy [This is sum of a positive number and its reciprocal]

Now, sum of a positive number and its reciprocal is always greater than or equal to 2.

∴ (logx y + logy x) = logxxy+logyyx ≥ 2

⇒ logxxy+logyyx = 2 - (logx y + logy x) ≤ 0

∴ logxxy+logyyx ≠ 1

Hence, option (d).
