Q28 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2022 (Paper 2) · Mathematics

Let α=∑k=1∞sin2kπ6. Let g:0,1→ℝ be the function defined by gx=2ax+2a1-x. Then, which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

  • Correct answer
    A
    The minimum value of gx is 276
  • Correct answer
    B
    The maximum value of gx is 1+213
  • Correct answer
    C
    The function gx attains its maximum at more than one point
  • D
    The function gx attains its minimum at more than one point

Solution

Given,

α=∑k=1∞sin2kπ6 and gx=2ax+2a1-x. 

Now solving,

α=∑k=1∞122k=∑k=1∞14k=141-14=13

Now putting the value of α in gx we get,

gx=2x3+21-x3

Now, g'x=ln2322x3-2132x3

Now finding the critical point by g'x=0⇒x=12

And, derivative changes sign from negative to positive at x=12, hence x=12 is point of local minimum as well as absolute minimum of gx for x∈0,1

Hence, minimum value of gx=g12

=216+216=276

⇒ Option A is correct

Now maximum value of gx is either equal to g0 or g1.

g0=1+213

g1=213+1

Hence (B) and (C) are also correct.

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