Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

Let g(x) = $\int_0^x {f(t)dt}$, where f is continuous function in [ 0, 3 ] such that ${1 \over 3}$ $\le$ f(t) $\le$ 1 for all t$\in$ [0, 1] and 0 $\le$ f(t) $\le$ ${1 \over 2}$ for all t$\in$ (1, 3]. The largest possible interval in which g(3) lies is :

  1. A $\left[ { - 1, - {1 \over 2}} \right]$
  2. B $\left[ { - {3 \over 2}, - 1} \right]$
  3. C [1, 3]
  4. D $\left[ {{1 \over 3},2} \right]$ Correct answer

Solution

Given, $g(x)=\int_0^x f(t) d t$<br/><br/> $\therefore g(3)=\int_0^3 f(t) d t=\int_0^1 f(t) d t+\int_1^3 f(t) d t$<br/><br/> $\Rightarrow \int_0^1 \frac{1}{3} d t+\int_1^3 0 \cdot d t \leq g(3) \leq \int_0^1 1 d t+\int_1^3 \frac{1}{2} d t$<br/><br/> $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \leq g(3) \leq 1+1$<br/><br/> $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \leq g(3) \leq 2$
