Solution

The correct option is C 2


f(x)=(2+x)3, 3<x1x23, 1<x<2f(x)=⎪ ⎪⎪ ⎪3(2+x)2, 3<x123x13, 1<x<2

From f(x)=0 we get x=2
and at x=0, f(x) becomes undefined,
and f(x) is not differentiable at x=1
So, here we get three critical points i.e. x=2,1,0
But there is no sign change for f(x) at x=2.
So, at x=2, f(x) has neither minimum nor maximum

Since, f(x) changes sign from negative to positive as x crosses 0 from left to right, therefore x=0 is a point of local minima.

From the above graph clearly, x=1 is a point of local maxima because f(x1)<f(1)>f(x1+)

The total number of local maximum or minimum =2
