  1. A f(x)f(y)
  2. B f(y)
  3. C 2f(x)f(y)
  4. D f(x)f(y)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2f(x)f(y)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, f(x)=ax+a-x2, a>2  ....(i) ⇒fx+y=ax+y+a-x+y2 and fx-y=ax-y+a-(x-y)2 Now, f(x+y)+f(x-y)=ax+y+a-x-y2+ax-y+a-x+y2 =ayax+a-x2+a-yax+a-x2 =ay·f(x)+a-y·f(x) [from (i)] =2·f(x)·ay+a-y2 =2·f(x)·f(y)
