Let f(a)= a-1 a+1 . Consider the following : 1) f(2 a)=f(a)+1 2) (f...

Let f(a)=a−1a+1f(\mathrm{a})=\frac{\mathrm{a}-1}{\mathrm{a}+1}. Consider the following : 1) f(2a)=f(a)+1f(2 a)=f(a)+1 2) (f(1a)=−\left(\frac{1}{a}\right)=-f(a)) Which of the above is/are correct?

Options

  1. A1 only
  2. B2 only
  3. CBoth 1 and 2
  4. DNeither 1 nor 2

Correct answer

B. 2 only

Step-by-step solution

f(a)=a−1a+1f(2a)=2a−12a+1\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{a})=\frac{\mathrm{a}-1}{\mathrm{a}+1} \\ & \mathrm{f}(2 \mathrm{a})=\frac{2 \mathrm{a}-1}{2 \mathrm{a}+1} \end{aligned}\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{a})+1=\frac{\mathrm{a}-1}{\mathrm{a}+1}+1=\frac{2 \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{a}+1}So,So,\mathrm{f}(2 \mathrm{a}) \neq \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{a})+1Now,Now,f\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right)=\frac{\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}-1}{\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}+1}=\frac{1-\mathrm{a}}{1+\mathrm{a}}=-\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}-1}{\mathrm{a}+1}\right)=-\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{a})$
