Options
- A9 2
- B5 2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
C. 3
Step-by-step solution
Given, f(x)= x-2 , x [2,6] We know that, by Lagrange's mean value theorem, their exist c (2,6) such that aligned & f(c)= f(b)-f(a) b-a & = 1 2 c-2 = f(6)-f(2) 6-2 & 1 2 c-2 = 6-2 - 2-2 4 aligned array ll & 1 c-2 = 4 -0 2 & 1 c-2 =1 c-2 =1 & c-2=1 c=3 array
