JEE Advance - Mathematics (2006 - No. 5)

Let the definite integral be defined by the formula
$$\int\limits_a^b {f\left( x \right)dx = {{b - a} \over 2}\left( {f\left( a \right) + f\left( b \right)} \right).} $$ For more accurate result for
$$c \in \left( {a,b} \right),$$ we can use $$\int\limits_a^b {f\left( x \right)dx = \int\limits_a^c {f\left( x \right)dx + \int\limits_c^b {f\left( x \right)dx = F\left( c \right)} } } $$ so
that for $$c = {{a + b} \over 2},$$ we get $$\int\limits_a^b {f\left( x \right)dx = {{b - a} \over 4}\left( {f\left( a \right) + f\left( b \right) + 2f\left( c \right)} \right).} $$

If $$f''\left( x \right) < 0\,\forall x \in \left( {a,b} \right)$$ and $$c$$ is a point such that $$a < c < b,$$ and
$$\left( {c,f\left( c \right)} \right)$$ is the point lying on the curve for which $$F(c)$$ is
maximum, then $$f'(c)$$ is equal to

$${{f\left( b \right) - f\left( a \right)} \over {b - a}}$$
$${{2\left( {f\left( b \right)} \right) - f\left( a \right)} \over {b - a}}$$
$${{2f\left( b \right) - f\left( a \right)} \over {2b - a}}$$
$$0$$
