    If\[x=-1\]and\[x=2\]are the extreme points of the function\[y=a\log |x|+b{{x}^{2}}+x,\]then

    A)  \[a=2,b=1/2\]     

    B)  \[a=2,b=-1/2\]

    C)  \[a=-2,b=-1/2\]  

    D)  \[a=-2,b=1/2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[y=a\log |x|+b{{x}^{2}}+x\] If\[x>0,y=a\log x+b{{x}^{2}}+x\] \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{a}{x}+2bx+1\]            ...(i) If \[x<0y=a\log (-x)+b{{x}^{2}}+x\] \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{a}{-x}(-1)+2bx+1\]       ...(ii) From Eq. (ii), \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{x=-1}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[-a+2b(-1)+1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[-a-2b=-1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a=1-2b\] ?.(iii) From Eq. (i), \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{x=2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{a}{2}+2b-2+1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1-2b}{2}+4b+1=0\] [using Eq. (iii)] \[\Rightarrow \] \[1-2b+8b+2=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[6b=-3\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[b=-\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \] \[a=1-2\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)=2\]
