Solution

The correct option is B nn+2 when n is even
(x+1)f(x)x is a polynomial of degree n+1
(x+1)f(x)x=k(x)(x1)(x2)....(xn).....(i)
Also, 1=k(1)(2)...((n1) (Putting x=1 in (i))
1=k(1)n+1(n+1)!
k=1(1)n+1(n+1)!
By replacing x with n+1,we get​​​​
(n+2)f(n+1)(n+1)=k[(n+1)!]
(n+2)f(n+1)(n+1)=(1)n+1
f(n+1)=1,if n is odd and nn+2,if n is even.
