Let f, g : [–1, 2] → R be continuous functions which are twice differentiable on the interval (–1, 2). Let the values of f and g at the points –1, 0 and 2 be as given in the following table.
\[\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline & x=-1 & x=0 & x=2 \\ \hline f(x) & 3 & 6 & 0 \\ \hline g(x) & 0 & 1 & -1 \\ \hline \end{array}\]
In each of the intervals (–1, 0) and (0, 2), the function
(f – 3g)′′ never vanishes. Then the correct statement(s) is(are).
  1. f ′(x) – 3g′(x) = 0 has exactly three solutions in
    (–1, 0) ∪ (0, 2)
  2. f′(x) – 3g′(x) = 0 has exactly one solution in (–1, 0)
  3. f ′(x) – 3g′(x) = 0 has exactly one solution in (0, 2)
  4. f ′(x) – 3g′(x) = 0 has exactly two solutions in (–1, 0) and exactly two solutions in (0, 2)

Answer

(A) f ′ ( x ) – 3 g ′ ( x ) = 0 has exactly three solutions in (–1, 0) ∪ (0, 2)
