    If the function \[f\left( x \right)=\frac{x-1}{c-{{x}^{2}}+1}\] does not take any value in the internal \[\left[ -1,-\frac{1}{3}, \right]\] then the largest integral value that \[c\]can attain is equal to

    A) 2

    B) 1

    C) \[-1\]

    D) 0

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[y=f\left( x \right)=\frac{x-1}{c-{{x}^{2}}+1}\] Take \[y=-t,\] where \[t\in \left[ \frac{1}{3},1 \right],\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[-t=\frac{x-1}{c-{{x}^{2}}+1}\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}-c-1=\frac{x-1}{t}\]\[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{x}^{2}}-\frac{1}{t}x+\frac{1}{t}-c-1=0\]
    As\[-t\in \left[ -1,-\frac{1}{3} \right],\]hence the above must not possess real solution
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{\left( \frac{1}{t} \right)}^{2}}-4\left( \frac{1}{t}-c-1 \right)<0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{1}{{{t}^{2}}}-\frac{4}{t}+4<-4c\Rightarrow c<-\frac{1}{4}{{\left( \frac{1}{t}-2 \right)}^{2}}\]
    Now, \[\frac{1}{3}\le t\le l\Rightarrow 1\le \frac{1}{t}-2\le 1\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[-\frac{1}{4}\le \frac{1}{4}{{\left( \frac{1}{t}-2 \right)}^{2}}\le 0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[0\le \frac{-1}{4}{{\left( \frac{1}{t}-2 \right)}^{2}}\le \frac{1}{4}\]
