Solution

The correct option is D None of these
f(b)f(a)baf(x)x(a,b)(i)f(x)=x1/3,a=1,b=1f(1)f(1)1(1)=f(1)f(1)2=(1)1/3(1)1/32=1(1)2=1f(x)=13x2/313x2/3=1x2/3=3(x2/3)3/2=33/2x=(13)3/2
Clearly (13)3/2[1,1]. Hence, this does not hold true.
(ii)f(x)=1x,a=1,b=4f(b)f(a)ba=(1411)41=34×13=14f(x)=1x21x2=14x=±2
x=2[1,4], So this also doees not hold true.
(iii)f(x)=x|x|,a=1,b=1f(b)f(a)ba=1|1|(1)|1|1(1)=1(1)2=1f(x)={2xforx02xforx<0
When, 2x=1x=1/2
and 2x=1x=1/2
So, this does not hold true either.
Therefore none of these will be the answer.
