Q48 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (29 Jan Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let fx=limr→x2r2(f(r))2-f(x)f(r)r2-x2-r3ef(r)r be differentiable in (-∞,0)∪(0,∞) and f(1)=1. Then the value of ae, such that f(a)=0, is equal to ______.

Correct answer: 2

Solution

Given,

f(1)=1, f(a)=0

And fx=limr→x2r2(f(r))2-f(x)f(r)r2-x2-r3ef(r)r

⇒f2(x)=limr→x2r2f2(r)-f(x)f(r)r2-x2-r3ef(r)r

⇒f2(x)=limr→x2r2f(r)r+x(f(r)-f(x))r-x-r3ef(r)r

⇒f2(x)=2x2f(x)x+xlimr→x(f(r)-f(x))r-x-x3ef(x)x

⇒f2(x)=2x2f(x)2xf'(x)-x3ef(x)x

Now, taking fx=y we get,

⇒y2=xydydx-x3eyx

⇒yx=dydx-x2yeyx

Now, let y=vx⇒dydx=v+xdvdx

⇒v=v+xdvdx-xvev

⇒dvdx=evv

⇒e-vvdv=dx

Integrating both side

ev(x+c)+1+v=0

Now using f(1)=1⇒x=1,y=1 we get,

⇒c=-1-2e

Hence, ev-1-2e+x+1+v=0

⇒eyx-1-2e+x+1+yx=0

Now taking, x=a & y=0 we get,

e0-1-2e+a+1+0=0

⇒a=2e

⇒ae=2

Hence, the correct answer is 2.
