Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2ax + b\) \(2a(2) + b = 0 \Rightarrow 4a + b = 0\) \(a(2)^2 + b(2) = -12 \Rightarrow 4a + 2b = -12\) \(b = -4a\) \(4a + 2(-4a) = -12\) \(4a - 8a = -12\) \(-4a = -12\) \(a = 3\) \(b = -4(3)\) \(b = -12\) Correct options are (A) and (D).
