Hard MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Let f be a twice differentiable function on (1, 6). If f(2) = 8, f’(2) = 5, f’(x) $\ge$ 1 and f''(x) $\ge$ 4, for all x $\in$ (1, 6), then :

  1. A f(5) $\le$ 10
  2. B f(5) + f'(5) $\ge$ 28 Correct answer
  3. C f(5) + f'(5) $\le$ 26
  4. D f'(5) + f''(5) $\le$ 20

Solution

Given, $f'(x) \ge 1$<br><br>$\therefore$ $\int_2^5 {f'(x)} dx\, \ge \,\int_2^5 {dx}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow f(5) - f(2) \ge 3$<br><br>$\Rightarrow f(5) - 8 \ge 3$<br><br>$\Rightarrow f(5) \ge 11$ ...(1)<br><br>Also, $f''(x) \ge 4$<br><br>$\therefore$ $\int_2^5 {f''(x)} dx\, \ge \,\int_2^5 {4dx}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow f'(5) - f'(2) \ge 4(3)$<br><br>$\Rightarrow f'(5) - 5 \ge 12$<br><br>$\Rightarrow f'(5) \ge 17$ ...(2)<br><br>From (1) and (2),<br><br>$f'(5) + f'(5) \ge 11 + 17$<br><br>$\Rightarrow f'(5) + f'(5) \ge 28$
