Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The function f(x)=2x3−15x2+36x+5f(x) = 2x^3 - 15x^2 + 36x + 5 on interval [2,5][2, 5] needs to be analyzed for absolute maximum and minimum values, and their corresponding x-coordinates.


Finding the derivative:

f′(x)=6x2−30x+36f'(x) = 6x^2 - 30x + 36

Setting f′(x)=0f'(x) = 0:

6x2−30x+36=06x^2 - 30x + 36 = 0

x2−5x+6=0x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0

(x−2)(x−3)=0(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0

Critical points: x=2x = 2 and x=3x = 3


Evaluating the function at critical points and endpoints:

At x=2x = 2:

f(2)=2(2)3−15(2)2+36(2)+5f(2) = 2(2)^3 - 15(2)^2 + 36(2) + 5

f(2)=2(8)−15(4)+72+5f(2) = 2(8) - 15(4) + 72 + 5

f(2)=16−60+72+5f(2) = 16 - 60 + 72 + 5

f(2)=33f(2) = 33

At x=3x = 3:

f(3)=2(3)3−15(3)2+36(3)+5f(3) = 2(3)^3 - 15(3)^2 + 36(3) + 5

f(3)=2(27)−15(9)+108+5f(3) = 2(27) - 15(9) + 108 + 5

f(3)=54−135+108+5f(3) = 54 - 135 + 108 + 5

f(3)=32f(3) = 32

At x=5x = 5:

f(5)=2(5)3−15(5)2+36(5)+5f(5) = 2(5)^3 - 15(5)^2 + 36(5) + 5

f(5)=2(125)−15(25)+180+5f(5) = 2(125) - 15(25) + 180 + 5

f(5)=250−375+180+5f(5) = 250 - 375 + 180 + 5

f(5)=60f(5) = 60


Comparing the values:

At x=2x = 2: f(2)=33f(2) = 33

At x=3x = 3: f(3)=32f(3) = 32 (minimum)

At x=5x = 5: f(5)=60f(5) = 60 (maximum)


The matches are:

(A) Absolute maximum value =60= 60 matches with (II)

(B) Absolute minimum value =32= 32 matches with (IV)

(C) Point of absolute maxima =5= 5 matches with (I)

(D) Point of absolute minima =3= 3 matches with (III)

Therefore, the correct answer is: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
