JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 6. Application of derivatives

If the function \(f(x)=2 x^3-9 \mathrm{ax}^2+12 \mathrm{a}^2 \mathrm{x}+1\), where \(\mathrm{a} \gt 0\), attains its local maximum and local minimum values at \(p\) and \(q\), respectively, such that \(\mathrm{p}^2=\mathrm{q}\), then \(f(3)\) is equal to:

  1. A 55
  2. B 10
  3. C 23
  4. D 37
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 37

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f^{\prime}(x)=6 x^2-18 a x+12 a^2\) \(f^{\prime}(x)=6\left(x^2-3 a x+2 a^2\right)\) roots are \(a, 2 a\) \(\mathrm{p}^2=\mathrm{q} \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}^2=2 \mathrm{a}\) \(a=2\) \(f(x)=2 x^3-18 x^2+48 x+1\) \(f(3)=37\)
