Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{aligned} f(x) & =x(x-1)(x-2) \\ & =x\left(x^2-3 x+2\right)=x^3-3 x^2+2 x \\ \therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x) & =3 x^2-6 x+2 \\ \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(c) & =3 c^2-6 c+2 \end{aligned} \] According to LMVT…
