JEE Main 2025 — 24 January, Morning Shift — Question 5

Let f(x)=2x+2+1622x+1+2x+4+32f(x)=\frac{2^{x+2}+16}{2^{2 x+1}+2^{x+4}+32}. Then the value of 8(f(115)+f(215)+…+f(5915))8\left(\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{15}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{2}{15}\right)+\ldots+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{59}{15}\right)\right) is equal to

  1. Option A:

    118118

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    9292

  3. Option C:

    102102

  4. Option D:

    108108

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

f(x)=4.2x+162.22x+16.2x+32f(x)=\frac{4.2^{x}+16}{2.2^{2 x}+16.2^{x}+32}

f(x)=2(2x+4)22x+8.2x+16f(x)=\frac{2\left(2^{x}+4\right)}{2^{2 x}+8.2^{x}+16}

f(x)=22x+4f(x)=\frac{2}{2^{x}+4}

f(4−x)=2x2(2x+4)f(4-x)=\frac{2^{x}}{2\left(2^{x}+4\right)}

f(x)+f(4−x)=12\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})+\mathrm{f}(4-\mathrm{x})=\frac{1}{2}

So, f(115)+f(5915)=12\quad f\left(\frac{1}{15}\right)+f\left(\frac{59}{15}\right)=\frac{1}{2}

Similarly f(2915)+f(3115)=12\quad f\left(\frac{29}{15}\right)+f\left(\frac{31}{15}\right)=\frac{1}{2}

f(3015)=f(2)=222+4=28=14⇒8(29×12+14)\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}\left(\frac{30}{15}\right)=\mathrm{f}(2)=\frac{2}{2^{2}+4}=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4} \\& \Rightarrow 8\left(29 \times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\right) \end{aligned} Ans. 118\boxed{118}
