Let f: R - \ (α)/(6)\ → R be defined by f(x) = ((5x + 3)/(6x - α))...

Let f:R−{α6}→Rf: R - \left\{\dfrac{\alpha}{6}\right\} \to R be defined by f(x)=(5x+36x−α)f\left(x\right) = \left(\dfrac{5x + 3}{6x - \alpha}\right). Then the value of α\alpha for which \left(fof\right)\left(x\right) = x,forall, for allx \in R - \left\{\dfrac{\alpha}{6}\right\},$ is

Options

  1. ANo such α\alpha exists
  2. B55
  3. C88
  4. D66

Correct answer

B. 55

Step-by-step solution

We have,

f(x)=y=(5x+36x−α)…(i)f\left(x\right) = y = \left(\dfrac{5x + 3}{6x - \alpha}\right) \ldots \left(i\right)

⇒5x+3=6xy−\alphay⇒ 5x + 3 = 6xy - \alphay

⇒x(6y−5)=\alphay+3⇒ x ( 6y - 5 ) = \alphay + 3

⇒x=\alphay+36y−5⇒ x = \dfrac{\alphay + 3}{6y - 5}

Hence,

f−1{f}^{- 1}\left(x\right) = (\alphax+36x−5)…(ii)\left(\dfrac{\alphax + 3}{6x - 5}\right) \ldots \left(ii\right)

Now,

\left(fof\right)\left(x\right) = x</p><p></p><p>f ( x ) = {f}^{- 1} ( x )</p><p>Fromequation(i)</p><p>From equation \left(i\right) and \left(ii\right),wehave</p><p>(5x+36x−α)=(\alphax+36x−5), we have</p><p>\left(\dfrac{5x + 3}{6x - \alpha}\right) = \left(\dfrac{\alphax + 3}{6x - 5}\right)

Clearly, α=5\alpha = 5
