f−  = f−  = f  = f  = 0
 4  2 2 4
So, f(x) has at least four roots in (-2, 2)
 −3   3 
g  = g  = 0
 4  4
So, g(x) has at least two roots in (−2, 2)
now number of roots of f(x) g" ( x ) = f ' ( x )  g' ( x ) = 0
d
It is same as number of roots of
dx
( f ( x )  g' ( x )) = 0 will have atleast 4 roots in (−2, 2)

Coefficient of x−1  r = 10  m = 15C10 25

x−3  r = 15  n =15C15  20 = 1
now mn2 = 15Cr 2r

unit digit as 6 total ways = 1.22
unit digit as 7 total ways = 1.22
unit digit as 8 total ways = 1.22
unit digit as 9 total ways = 1.22
