    Let \[3f(x)-2f(1/x)=x,\] then \[f'(2)\]is equal to [MP PET 2000]

    A)            \[2/7\]

    B)            \[1/2\]

    C)            2

    D)            \[7/2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[3f(x)-2f(1/x)=x\]                                    .....(i)                           Let \[1/x=y\], then \[3f(1/y)-2f(y)=1/y\]            Þ  \[-2f(y)+3f(1/y)=1/y\]            Þ  \[-2f(x)+3f(1/x)=1/x\]   .....(ii)            From 3 × (i) + 2 × (ii),            \[9f(x)-6f(1/x)-4f(x)+6f(1/x)=3x+2/x\]            \[5f(x)=3x+\frac{2}{x}\] Þ \[f(x)=\frac{1}{5}\left[ 3x+\frac{2}{x} \right]\]                    Þ \[f'(x)=\frac{1}{5}\left[ 3-\frac{2}{{{x}^{2}}} \right]\]Þ \[{f}'(2)=\frac{1}{5}\left[ 3-\frac{2}{4} \right]=\frac{1}{2}\].
