Solution
The correct option is B -1 Given: f (x) = 3x − 2 and g(x) = 2x + k Now, f o g(x) = f (g(x)) = f (2x +k) = 3(2x +k)−2 ⇒ f o g(x) = 6x + 3k −2 Also, g o f (x) = g (f(x)) = g(3x −2) = 2(3x −2)+k ∴ g o f (x) = 6x - 4 + k But, f o g = g o f ⇒ 6x + 3k −2 = 6x - 4 + k ⇒ 2k = -2 ⇒ k = -1 Hence, value of k is -1.
