JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2021 - 1st September Evening Shift - No. 6)

The function $$f(x) = {x^3} - 6{x^2} + ax + b$$ is such that $$f(2) = f(4) = 0$$. Consider two statements :

Statement 1 : there exists x1, x2 $$\in$$(2, 4), x1 < x2, such that f'(x1) = $$-$$1 and f'(x2) = 0.

Statement 2 : there exists x3, x4 $$\in$$ (2, 4), x3 < x4, such that f is decreasing in (2, x4), increasing in (x4, 4) and $$2f'({x_3}) = \sqrt 3 f({x_4})$$.

Then
both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true
Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true
both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are false
Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false

Explanation

$$f(x) = {x^3} - 6{x^2} + ax + b$$

$$f(2) = 8 - 24 + 2a + b = 0$$

$$2a + b = 16$$ .... (1)

$$f(4) = 64 - 96 + 4a + b = 0$$

$$4a + b = 32$$ .... (2)

Solving (1) and (2)

a = 8, b = 0

$$f(x) = {x^3} - 6{x^2} + 8x$$

$$f'(x) = 3{x^2} - 12x + 8$$

$$f''(x) = 6x - 12$$

$$\Rightarrow$$ f'(x) is $$ \uparrow $$ for x > 2, and f'(x) is $$ \downarrow $$ for x < 2

$$f'(2) = 12 - 24 + 8 = - 4$$

$$f'(4) = 48 - 48 + 8 = 8$$

$$f'(x) = 3{x^2} - 12x + 8$$

vertex (2, $$-$$4)

f'(2) = $$-$$4, f'(4) = 8, f'(3) = 27 $$-$$ 36 + 8

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 1st September Evening Shift Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 85 English Explanation
f'(x1) = $$-$$1, then x1 = 3

f'(x2) = 0

Again

f'(x) < 0 for x $$\in$$ (2, x4)

f'(x) > 0 for x $$\in$$ (x4, 4)

x4 $$\in$$ (3, 4)

f(x) = x3 $$-$$ 6x2 + 8x

f(3) = 27 $$-$$ 54 + 24 = $$-$$3

f(4) = 64 $$-$$ 96 + 32 = 0

For x4(3, 4)

f(x4) < $$-$$3$$\sqrt 3 $$

and f'(x3) > $$-$$4

2f'(x3) > $$-$$8

So, 2f'(x3) = $$\sqrt 3 $$ f(x4)

Correct Ans. (a).
