JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2020 - 9th January Evening Slot - No. 19)

Let ƒ and g be differentiable functions on R such that fog is the identity function. If for some a, b $$ \in $$ R, g'(a) = 5 and g(a) = b, then ƒ'(b) is equal to :
1
5
$${2 \over 5}$$
$${1 \over 5}$$

Explanation

Given the function composition f(g(x)) is the identity function, it means f(g(x)) = x for all x.

$$ \Rightarrow $$ ƒ'(g(x)) g'(x) = 1

put x = a

$$ \Rightarrow $$ ƒ'(b) g'(a) = 1

$$ \Rightarrow $$ ƒ'(b) = $${1 \over 5}$$
