Let f : 0 ,   1 → 0 ,   1 be the function defined by f x = x 3 3 - x 2 + 5 9 x + 17 36 .…

Let f:0, 10, 1 be the function defined by fx=x33-x2+59x+1736. Consider the square region S=0, 1×0, 1. Let G=x, yS:y>fx be called the green region and R=x, yS:y<fx be called the red region. Let Lh=x, hS:x0, 1 be the horizontal line drawn at a height h0, 1. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?
  1. There exists anh14, 23 such that the area of the green region above the line Lh equals the area of the green region below the line Lh

  2. There exists an h14, 23 such that the area of the red region above the line Lh equals the area of the red region below the line Lh
  3. There exists an h14, 23 such that the area of the green region above the line Lh equals the area of the red region below the line Lh
  4. There exists an h14, 23 such that the area of the red region above the line Lh equals the area of the green region below the line Lh

Solution

Given,

Function fx=x33-x2+59x+1736

Square region S=0, 1×0, 1

Green region given by G=x, yS:y>fx

Red region is given by R=x, yS:y<fx

And Lh=x, hS:x0, 1 be the horizontal line drawn at a height h0, 1

Now plotting the diagram of the above function we get,

Now differentiating the function,

fx=x33-x2+59x+1736

f'x=x2-2x+59

For maxima/minima, f'x=0x=13

Now finding the area of red region we get,

AR=01fx dx=12

So, area of the green region will be,

AG=12, as total area is 1 sq.unit

Now solving option A we get,

1-h=h-12h=34, 34>23

So, option A is incorrect

For option B h=12-hh=14

So, option B is correct as h14,23

Now solving option C we get,

01fx dx=12,0112dx=1201fx-12dx=0

h=12

So, option C is correct.

D  Option C is correct option D is also correct.
