Given integral  \int \frac{x dx }{( x-1)(x-2) }

Partial fraction of above equation,

\frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)} = \frac{A}{(x-1)}+\frac{B}{(x-2)}

x= A(x+2)+B(x-1)                                            ..............(1)                            

Now, substituting x = 1\ and\ x = 2 in equation (1), we get

A = -1\ and\ B=2

\therefore \frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)} = -\frac{1}{(x-1)}+\frac{2}{(x-2)}

\implies \int \frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)}dx = \int \left \{ \frac{-1}{(x-1)}+\frac{2}{(x-2)} \right \}dx

= -\log|x-1| +2log|x-2| +C

=\log \left | \frac{(x-2)^2}{x-1} \right | +C

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
