Q28 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2022 (Paper 2) · Mathematics
Let . Let be the function defined by . Then, which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
- Correct answerAThe minimum value of is
- Correct answerBThe maximum value of is
- Correct answerCThe function attains its maximum at more than one point
- DThe function attains its minimum at more than one point
Solution
Given,
and .
Now solving,
Now putting the value of in we get,
Now,
Now finding the critical point by
And, derivative changes sign from negative to positive at , hence is point of local minimum as well as absolute minimum of for
Hence, minimum value of
Option is correct
Now maximum value of is either equal to or .
Hence (B) and (C) are also correct.
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'C'.
