Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{f}(x)=x^3+x^2 \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)+x \mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(2)+6\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2+2 x \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)+\mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(2)\)...(i)
\(\therefore \mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x+2 \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)\) ...(ii)
Substituting \(x=1\) in (i), we get
\(f^{\prime}(1)=3(1)^2+2(1) f^{\prime}(1)+f^{\prime \prime}(2)\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)+\mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(2)=-3\) ...(iii)
Substituting \(x=2\) in (ii), we get
\(f^{\prime \prime}(2)=6(2)+2 f^{\prime}(1)\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(2)=12+2 \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)\) ...(iv)
From (iii) and (iv), we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)+12+2 \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)=-3 \\
& \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)=-15 \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)=-5 \\
& \text { From (iii) },-5+\mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(2)=-3 \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime \prime}(2)=2
\end{aligned}
\)
\(\therefore f(2) =2^3+2^2(-5)+2(2)+6 \)
\( =8-20+4+6 \)
\( =-2\)
