 Hints and Solution

1. (2) Hence h(x) > h(0) = 0; x > 0

Since f is odd degree polynomial  f3(x) – f2(x) > 0; x > 0
∴ It must have one real root.  f3 > f2; for x > 0
Also f'(x) = 3x2 + 1 > 0 for all x ∈  By equation (1) and (2)
∴ f is increasing on . f1 < f2 < f3 ; for x > 0
And hence it has almost one real root
Therefore f has exactly one real root.

f'(x) = 6x2 + 6x – 12 lim bn = lim an + lim an+1 = l + l = 2l

⇒ x2 + x – 2 = 0 2l Hence option (3) is correct.
⇒ (x + 2)(x – 1) = 0 Option (3) is correct then (2) is not true. option
∴ (1) cannot have 3 distinct roots iff x = –2 and (1) discard by taking an = (–1)n.

∴ For k = 16 1 1 1
Let a n  then bn  
f( – 2) ≠ 0, f(1) ≠ 0 n n n 1

7. (2) Clearly from here ⟨an⟩ is not subsequence of ⟨bn⟩
Result: If f(x) is one-one and continuous then f(x)
is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.

If an = n then n divergent. converges to 0.
 option (2) is also not true. Hence option (4) is correct.
Thus option (4) is true.
