JEE Main 2026 — 4 April, Evening Shift — Question 49

Let f be a twice differentiable function such that f(x)=∫0xtan⁡(t−x)dt−∫0xf(t)tan⁡t dt, x∈(−π2,π2)f(x) = \int_{0}^{x} \tan(t-x) dt - \int_{0}^{x} f(t) \tan t \, dt,\ x\in\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right). Then f′′(π6)+12f′(−π6)+f(π6)f''\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) + 12f'\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) + f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) is equal to
