Q109 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (06 Aug Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let $f$ and $g$ be two differentiable functions satisfying $g^{\prime}(5)=\frac{3}{4}, g(5)=6$ and $g=f^{-1}$. Then $f^{\prime}(6)$ is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{6}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\frac{4}{3}$

Solution

Given, $g(x)=f^{-1}(x)$ $$ \Rightarrow \quad f[g(x)]=x $$ Differentiating $f^{\prime}[g(x)] \cdot g^{\prime}(x)=1$ $$ f^{\prime}[g(x)]=\frac{1}{g^{\prime}(x)} $$ Putting $x=5$, we get $$ f^{\prime}[g(5)]=\frac{1}{g^{\prime}(5)} \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(6)=\frac{1}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{4}{3} $$

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