Q51 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (09 Apr Online) · Mathematics

For x ∈R, x≠0, x≠1, let f0x=11-x and fn+1x=f0fnx, n=0, 1, 2,….. Then the value of f1003+f123+f232 is equal to :

  • A
    83
  • B
    43
  • Correct answer
    C
    53
  • D
    13

Solution

f1x=f0+1x=f0f0x=11-11-x=x-1x

f2x=f1+1x=f0f1x=11-x-1x=x

f3x=f2+1x=f0f2x=f0x=11-x

f4x=f3+1x=f0f3x=x-1x

∴ f0=f3=f6=…=11-x

f1=f4=f7=…=x-1x

f2=f5=f8=…=x

f1003=3-13=23 ,

f123=23-123= -12

f232=32

∴ f1003+f123+f232=53

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
