Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (b)

Solution:

  1. Given function f(x)=xkxx2

the function f(x) is defined if kxx20

x2kx0x[0,k]

because it is given that f(x) is increasing in interval x[0,3], so k should be positive.

Now, on differentiating the function f(x) w.r.t. x, we get

f(x)=kxx2+x2kxx2×(k2x)=2(kxx2)+kx2x22kxx2=3kx4x22kxx2

as f(x) is increasing in interval x[0,3], so

f(x)0x(0,3)3kx4x204x23kx04xx3k40x0,3k4 (as k is positive) 

So, 33k4k4

Minimum value of k=m=4

and the maximum value of f in [0,3] is f(3).

f is increasing function in interval x[0,3]

M=f(3)=34×332=33

Therefore, ordered pair (m,M)=(4,33)
