Let the function, f:[−7,0]→R be continuous on [−7,0] and differentiable on (−7,0). If f(−7)=−3 and f′(x)≤2, for all x∈(−7,0), then for all such functions f,f(−1)+f(0) lies in the interval:

Solution
The correct option is B(−∞,20] f(−7)=−3 and f′(x)≤2
Applying LMVT in [−7,0], we get f(−7)−f(0)−7=f′(c)≤2⇒−3−f(0)−7≤2⇒f(0)+3≤14⇒f(0)≤11
Applying LMVT in [−7,−1], we get f(−7)−f(−1)−7+1=f′(c)≤2⇒−3−f(−1)−6≤2⇒f(−1)+3≤12⇒f(−1)≤9
