Q27 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2020 (Paper 2) · Mathematics

Let f:ℝ→ℝ and g:ℝ→ℝ be functions satisfying fx+y=fx+fy+fxfy and fx=xgx for all x,y∈ℝ. If limx→0gx=1, then which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

  • Correct answer
    A
    f is differentiable at every x∈ℝ
  • Correct answer
    B
    If g0=1, then g is differentiable at everyx∈ℝ
  • C
    The derivative f'1 is equal to 1
  • Correct answer
    D
    The derivative f'0 is equal to 1

Solution

Given fx+y=fx+fy+fxfy
Put x=y=0 in given relation.

⇒  f0=f0+f0+f20

⇒  f0=0 or -1

∵  fx+y=fx+fy+fx·fy

⇒  fx+y-fxy=fy1+fxy

⇒  limy→0f(x+y)-f(x)y=limy→01+fx·fyy

∵  limx→0 gx=limx→0fxx=1

⇒  f'x=1+fx

⇒  f'0=1+f0

⇒  f'0=1+0

⇒  f'0=1

Again f'x1+fx=1⇒∫f'xdx1+fxdx=∫dx

⇒ln1+fx=x+C

⇒ln 1+fx=x    ∵C=0

⇒1+fx=ex

⇒fx=ex-1 ⇒ f'x=ex

⇒f'1=e

Also, fx is differentiable for every x∈R.

gx=fxx=ex-1x  y'0+=limh→0g0+h-g0h

If g0=1 then g'0+=limh→0eh-1h-1h=limh→0eh-1-hh2=12

g'0-=limh→0g0-h-g0-h=limh→0e-h-1-h-h

limh→0e-h-1+hh2=12

gx is differentiable for every x∈R.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'D'.
