    If the curve \[y=2{{x}^{3}}+a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c\] passes through the origin and the tangents drawn to it at \[x=-1\] and \[x=2\] are parallel to the x-axis, then the values of a, b and c are respectively:

    A)  12,-3 and 0        

    B)  - 3,-12 and 0

    C)  - 3,12 and 0       

    D)  3, -12 and 0

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given equation of curve is \[y=2{{x}^{3}}+a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c\]      ...(i) Since it is passes through \[(0,0)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[0=2(0)+a(0)+b(0)+c\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[c=0\]                                                  ?.(ii) On differentiating Eq. (i), we get                 \[\frac{dy}{dx}=6{{x}^{2}}+2ax+b\] Since the tangents at \[x=-1\]and \[x=2\]are parallel to x-axis. \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{dy}{dx}=0\] At             \[x=-1\]                 \[6{{(-1)}^{2}}+2a(-1)+b=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[6-2a+b=0\]                      ??(iii) At               \[x=2\]                 \[6{{(2)}^{2}}+2a(2)+b=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[24+4a+b=0\]                  ?..(iv) On solving Eqs. (in) and (iv), we get                 \[a=-3,\]\[b=-12\] and \[c=0\]
