JEE Main 2024 — 9 April, Shift 1 — Question 13

Let f(x)=ax3+bx2+ex+41f(x)=a x^{3}+b x^{2}+e x+41 be such that f(1)=40,f′(1)=2f(1)=40, f^{\prime}(1)=2 and f′′(1)=4f'{\prime}(1)=4. Then a2+b2+c2a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}

is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    62

  2. Option B:

    73

  3. Option C:

    54

  4. Option D:

    51

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+41\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{ax}^{3}+\mathrm{bx}^{2}+\mathrm{cx}+41

f′(x)=3ax2+2bx+cx\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=3 a \mathrm{x}^{2}+2 \mathrm{bx}+\mathrm{cx}

⇒f′(1)=3a+2 b+c=2\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)=3 \mathrm{a}+2 \mathrm{~b}+\mathrm{c}=2 …(1)\quad…(1)

f′′(x)=6ax+2bf^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 a x+2 b

⇒f"(1)=6a+2 b=4\Rightarrow \mathrm{f} "(1)=6 \mathrm{a}+2 \mathrm{~b}=4

3a+b=23 a+b=2 …(2)\quad…(2)

(1) −(2)-(2)

b+c=0\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c}=0

f(1)=40\mathrm{f}(1)=40

a+b+c+41=40a+b+c+41=40

use (3) a+41=40a+41=40 by (2)

−3+b=2⇒b=5&c=−5-3+b=2 \Rightarrow b=5 \& c=-5

a2+b2+c2=1+25+25=51a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=1+25+25=51
