  1. A four irrational numbers
  2. B four rational numbers
  3. C two irrational and one rational number
  4. D two irrational and two rational numbers
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) two irrational and one rational number

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({f^\prime }(x) = \lambda (x + 1)(x - 0)(x - 1)\) \( = \lambda \left( {{x^3} - x} \right)\) \(\Rightarrow f(x)=\lambda\left(\frac{x^{4}}{4}-\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right)+\mu\) Now \(f(x)=f(0)\) \(\Rightarrow \lambda\left(\frac{x^{4}}{4}-\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right)+\mu=\mu\)…
