Solution

The correct options are
A (,32)
D (1,)
Since, x1 & x2 are local minima & local maxima of f(x)=3+2(a+1)x+(a2+1)x2x3
Therefore, x1 & x2 are the roots of the equation f(x)=0
3x2+2(a2+1)x+2(a+1)=0
Since, 2 lies between the roots of the above quadratic equation
Therefore, f(2)>0
12+4(a2+1)+2(a+1)>0
Therefore, a belongs to (,32) & (1,)
Ans: A,D
