Q38 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (10 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let gx=fx+f1-x and f"x>0,x∈0,1. If g is decreasing in the interval 0,α and increasing in the interval α,1, then tan-12α+tan-11α+tan-1α+1α is equal to

  • Correct answer
    A
    π
  • B
    5π4
  • C
    3π4
  • D
    3π2

Solution

Given,

gx=fx+f1-x and f"x>0,x∈0,1. If g is decreasing in the interval 0,α and increasing in the interval α,1,

Now solving,

gx=fx+f1-x

Now differentiating both side we get,

g'x=f'x-f'1-x

Differentiating again we get,

g"x=f"x+f"1-x>0

So, g'x is increasing as given f"x>0

⇒g'0<g'1 

⇒f'0-f'1<f'1-f'0

⇒f'0<f'1

Now finding g'x=0 we get,

⇒f'x=f'1-x

⇒x=1-x

⇒x=12

Now g'x is positive for x∈0,12

And g'x is negative for  x∈12,1

∴  α=12

So, 

tan-12α+tan-11α+tan-1α+1α

=tan-11+tan-12+tan-13

=π4+tan-12+31-6

=π4+tan-1-1

=π4+3π4=π

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