Solution

The correct option is C x2x+1
According to division algorithm,
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
p(x)=g(x)×q(x)+r(x)
Putting the value in formula we get ,
x33x2+x+2=g(x)×(x2)+42x
Adding 2x and subtracting 4 both sides we get,
x33x2+x+2+2x4=g(x)×(x2)
(x33x2+3x2)=g(x)×(x2)
Dividing (x2) we get,
x33x2+3x2x2=g(x)
So, g(x)=x2x+1.
