Solution

The correct option is A x1
Given, x36x2+10x2x25x+6=f(x)+Ax2+Bx3 ....(1)
Consider, x36x2+10x2x25x+6
Here, degree of numerator > degree of denominator
x36x2+10x2x25x+6=x1+x2x25x+6 ....(2)
Resolving x2x25x+6 into partial fractions
x2x25x+6=x2(x2)(x3)=Ax2+Bx3 .....(3)
Put this in (2), we get
x36x2+10x2x25x+6=x1+Ax2+Bx3 .....(4)
Comparing with (1), f(x)=x1
From (3), it follows
x2=A(x3)+B(x2)
x2=(A+B)x+(3A2B)
A+B=1,3A2B=2
Solving these equations, we get
A=4,B=5
Hence, option A is correct
