    Let \[f(x)=a{{x}^{3}}+b{{x}^{2}}+cx+d,\,a>0,a,b,c,d\in R\] and \[f(x)=0\] has all roots of repeated nature. If \[g(x)=f'(x)-f''(x)+f'''(x)\] then \[\forall \,x\in R\]

    A) \[g(x)>0\]

    B) \[g(x)\ge 0\]

    C) \[g(x)<0\]

    D) \[g(x)\le 0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Clearly the equation \[f'(x)=0\] must also have repeated roots. So, \[f'(x)\ge 0\,\forall \,x.\]
    Let \[f'(x)={{a}_{1}}{{x}^{2}}+{{b}_{1}}x+{{c}_{1}},\]
    Where \[{{a}_{1}}>0\] and \[b_{1}^{2}-4{{a}_{1}}{{c}_{1}}=0,\] then \[g(x)={{a}_{1}}{{x}_{2}}+({{b}_{1}}-2{{a}_{1}})x+2{{a}_{1}}-{{b}_{1}}+{{c}_{1}}\]
    Its discriminant \[b_{1}^{2}-4{{a}_{1}}{{c}_{1}}-4a_{1}^{2}<0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[g(x)>0\,\forall \,x\in R\]
