Solution

The absolute maximum value of the function fx=2x3-9x2+12x+1 on 0, 2 

Given, fx=2x3-9x2+12x+1...................i

Differentiating w. r. t. x

f'x=6x2-18x+12

f'x=0

6x2-18x+12=0

x2-3x+2=0

x2-2x-x+2=0

xx-2-1x-2=0

x-2x-1=0

x=2 and x=1

Putting x=2 in equation i

f2=223-922+122+1

f2=5

Putting x=1 in equation i

f1=213-912+121+1

f1=6

Now, also we need to check the values of the function at x=0

f0=203-902+120+1

f0=1

Hence, The absolute maximum value of function is 6.

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