Solution

The correct option is C α<γ<β

f(1x)=f(1+x)f(x) is symmetric about x = -1
So vertex of parabola must be at x = –1 and it is concave up.
b2a=1b=2a........(i)α=f(2)=4a2b+cβ=f(3)=9a+3b+cγ=f(3)=9a3b+c
As f(x) has no real roots so values of f(x) increase as we move further away from x = –1 on both sides
Hence f(3)>f(3)>f(2)β>γ>α.
