Options
- A1 2
- B1
- C2
- D4
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
Given, f(x)=2 x^3-9 a x^2+12 a^2 x+1 has maximum value at P and minimum value at q . So, f^ (p)=0 and f^ (q)=0 Now, f^ (x)=6 x^2-18 a x+12 a^2 has roots p and q aligned & & p+q & = 18 a 6 =3 a & and & p q & = 12 a^2 6 =2 a^2 aligned on solving both equations, we get aligned & p=a and q=2 a & Given, & p^2=q & a^2=2 a & a^2-2 a=0 & a(a-2)=0 & a=2 ( a 0) & aligned
