Let \(\mathrm{f}: N \rightarrow N\) be a function such that \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n})=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{m})+\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{n})\) for every \(\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{n} \in N\). If \(\mathrm{f}(6)=18\) then \(\mathrm{f}(2) \cdot \mathrm{f}(3)\) is equal to :

  1. A \(6\)
  2. B \(54\)
  3. C \(18\)
  4. D \(36\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(54\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(\mathrm{~m}+\mathrm{n})=f(\mathrm{~m})+f(\mathrm{n})\) \(\text { Put } \mathrm{m}=1, \mathrm{n}=1\) \(f(2)=2 f(1)\) \(\text { Put } \mathrm{m}=2, \mathrm{n}=1\) \(f(3)=f(2)+f(1)=3 f(1)\) \(\text { Put } \mathrm{m}=3, \mathrm{n}=3\) \(f(6)=2 f(3) \Rightarrow f(3)=9\)…
