Solution

The correct option is A

6


Step 1: Determine the value of f(0)

Let us take x=5 and y=0. Now:

f(x+y)=f(x)f(y)f(5+0)=f(5)f(0)f(5)=2×f(0)2=2×f(0)f(0)=1

Step 2: Differentiate f(x+y)=f(x)f(y) with respect to x.

f'(x+y)×1+y'=f'(x)f(y)+f(x)f'(y)y'f'(5+0)×(1+y')=f'(5)f(0)+f(5)f'(0)y'f'(5)(1+y')=f'(5)×1+(2×3)y'f'(5)(1+y')=f'(5)+6y'f'(5)(1+y')-f'(5)=6y'f'(5)(1+y'-1)=6y'f'(5)y'=6y'f'(5)=6

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
