Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{27}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{aligned} & f(x)=2 x-7-a x^2 \\ & f(x)=-7-a\left(x^2-\frac{2}{a} x\right) \\ & f(x)=\frac{1}{a}-7-a\left(x^2-\frac{2 x}{a}+\frac{1}{a^2}\right) \\ & f(x)=\frac{1}{a}-7-a\left(x-\frac{1}{a}\right)^2 \end{aligned} \] Maximum value of \(f(x)\) is \(\frac{1}{a}-7\)…
