    If \[f(x)\] is twice differentiable polynomial function such that \[f(1)=1,f(2)=-4,f(3)=9\], then [IIT Screening 2005]

    A)            \[f''(x)=2,\forall x\in R\]                  

    B)            There exist at least one \[x\in (1,\,3)\] such that \[f''(x)=2\]

    C)                    There exist at least one \[x\in (2,\,3)\] such that  \[f'(x)=5=f''(x)\] 

    D)            There exist at least one \[x\in (1,\,2)\] such that \[f(x)=3\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Let a function be \[g(x)=f(x)-{{x}^{2}}\]                    Þ \[g(x)\] has at least 3 real roots which are \[x=1\], 2 , 3                    Þ \[g'(x)\] has at least 2 real roots in \[x\in (1,\,3)\]                    Þ \[g''(x)\]has at least 1 real roots in \[x\in (1,\,3)\]                    Þ \[f'(x)=2\] for at least one \[x\in (1,3)\].
