Let ff be a function such that 3f(x)+2f(m19x)=5x,x≠03 f(x)+2 f\left(\frac{m}{19 x}\right)=5 x, x \neq 0, where m=∑i=19(i)2m=\sum_{i=1}^{9}(i)^{2}. Then f(5)−f(2)f(5)-f(2) is equal to

Options

  1. A18
  2. B36
  3. C9
  4. D-9

Correct answer

A. 18

Step-by-step solution

m=∑i=19i2=9⋅10⋅196=285m = \sum_{i=1}^{9} i^2 = \frac{9 \cdot 10 \cdot 19}{6} = 285, so m19=15\frac{m}{19} = 15.
The equation becomes 3f(x)+2f(15x)=5x3f(x) + 2f\left(\frac{15}{x}\right) = 5x ...(i)
Replace xx by 15x\frac{15}{x}: 3f(15x)+2f(x)=75x3f\left(\frac{15}{x}\right) + 2f(x) = \frac{75}{x} ...(ii)
From 3×(i)−2×(ii)3 \times (i) - 2 \times (ii): 5f(x)=15x−150x5f(x) = 15x - \frac{150}{x}, so f(x)=3x−30xf(x) = 3x - \frac{30}{x}.
f(5)=15−6=9f(5) = 15 - 6 = 9, f(2)=6−15=−9f(2) = 6 - 15 = -9.
f(5)−f(2)=9−(−9)=18f(5) - f(2) = 9 - (-9) = 18.
