  • C

  • D
    1

Solution

Given afx+bf1x=x+1   ...i

Replacing x→1x, we get

af1x+bfx=1x+1   ...ii

a×i-b×ii, we get

a2fx+abf1x-abf1x+b2fx=ax+a-bx-b

a2-b2fx=ax-bx+a-b

fx=ax-bxa2-b2+1a+b

Now, ddxx2fx=ddxx2ax-bxa2-b2+1a+b

=ddxax3-bxa2-b2+x2a+b=3ax2-ba2-b2+2xa+b

Given, 3ax2a2-b2+2xa+b-ba2-b2=2x2+2x+13

i.e. 3aa2-b2=2,

1a+b=1 and 

-ba2-b2=13

So, aa-b=2 3& -ba-b=13

i.e. a=-2b⇒b=-1, a=2

Hence, a-b=3

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