If a number is drawn at random from the set 1,3,5,7 , , 59 , then the probability that it lies in the interval in which the function f(x)=x^3-16 x^2+20 x-5 is strictly decreasing, is
Options
- A1 5
- B1 3
- C1 2
- D1 6
Correct answer
D. 1 6
Step-by-step solution
aligned & f(x)=x^3-16 x^2+20 x-5 & f^ (x)=3 x^2-32 x+20=(3 x-2)(x-10) & f^ (x) 0 & x ( 2 3 , 0 ) x can take values 1,3,5,7,9 & n( ~S )=30, n( E )=5 & Required probability = n( E ) n( ~S ) = 5 30 = 1 6 aligned
