Consider the following two statements:
(I) is increasing in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right)g. Then,
Options
- ANeither (I) nor (II) is True
- BOnly (I) is True
- CBoth (I) and (II) are True
- DOnly (II) is True
Correct answer
A. Neither (I) nor (II) is True
Step-by-step solution
Given for all , which means is a strictly increasing function.
We are given . Since is strictly increasing, for and for .
The function is defined as for .
Let .
Differentiating with respect to :
.
Case 1: .
In this interval, , so .
Also, , so .
Since is increasing and , for , we have .
Thus, . So is decreasing in .
Statement (I) is False.
Case 2: .
In this interval, , so .
Also, , so .
Thus, .
Then . So is increasing in .
Statement (II) is False.
Therefore, neither (I) nor (II) is true.
