Solution

The correct option is C Neither 1 nor 2
Neither 1 nor 2

Given,

f(x)=x2+2x5

g(x)=5x+30

(i)

f[g(x)]

=f[5x+30]

=(5x+30)2+2(5x+30)5

upon solving the above equation, we get,

f[g(x)]=25x2+310x+955

degree =2

(ii)

g[g(x)]

=g[5x+30]

=5(5x+30)+30

=25x+150+30

=25x+180

g[g(x)]=25x+180

degree =1
