  1. A \(a \geq 1\)
  2. B \(a=1\)
  3. C \(a \leq 1\)
  4. D \(a < 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(a \geq 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=\sqrt{3} \sin x-\cos x-2 a x+b\) \(\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\sqrt{3} \cos x+\sin x-2 a\) \(\begin{aligned} & =2\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cos x+\frac{1}{2} \sin x\right)-2 a \\ & =2 \sin \left(x+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)-2 a\end{aligned}\) When, \(f(x)\) decreases. Then,…
