If f:R→R is a twice differentiable function such that f′′x>0 for all x∈R and f12=12, f1=1 then

JEE Advanced · Mathematics · 25. AOD

If $f : R \to R$ is a twice differentiable function such that $f^{''} (x) > 0$ for all $x \in R$ and $f (\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{2}, f (1) = 1$ then

A $0 < f^{'} (1) \leq \frac{1}{2}$
B $f^{'} (1) \leq 0$
C $f^{'} (1) > 1$
D $\frac{1}{2} < f^{'} (1) \leq 1$

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) $f^{'} (1) > 1$

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using LMVT on

f (x)

for

x \in [\frac{1}{2}, 1]

\frac{f (1) - f (\frac{1}{2})}{1 - \frac{1}{2}} = f^{'} (c),

where

c \in (\frac{1}{2}, 1)

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

Let

ℓ_{1}

and

ℓ_{2}

be the lines

{\vec{r}}_{1} = λ (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})

and

{\vec{r}}_{2} = (\hat{j} - \hat{k}) + μ (\hat{i} + \hat{k})

, respectively, Let

X

be the set of all the planes

H

that contain the line

ℓ_{1}

. For a plane

H

, let

d (H)

denote the smallest possible distance between the points of

ℓ_{2}

and

H

. Let

H_{0}

be a plane in

X

for which

d (H_{0})

is the maximum value of

varies over all planes in

X

. Match each entry in List-I to the correct entries in List-II.

	List-I		List-II
$(P)$	The value of $d (H_{0})$ is	$(1)$	$\sqrt{3}$
$(Q)$	The distance of the point $(0, 1, 2)$ from $H_{0}$ is	$(2)$	$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
$(R)$	The distance of origin from $H_{0}$ is	$(3)$	$0$
$(S)$	The distance of origin from the point of intersection of planes $y = z, x = 1$ and $H_{0}$ is	$(4)$	$\sqrt{2}$
		$(5)$	$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
