 By LMVT,
\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{f(3)-f(1)}{3-1} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{\log _e 3-\log _e 1}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \log _e 3 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{c}=\frac{1}{2} \log _e 3=\frac{1}{2 \log _3 e} \\ & \therefore c=2 \log _3 e . \end{aligned} }
