Question 19 [Assertion Reasoning] - CBSE Class 12 Sample Paper for 2024 Boards - Solutions of Sample Papers and Past Year Papers - for Class 12 Boards
Last updated at April 16, 2024 by Teachoo
Let f(x) be a polynomial function of degree 6 such that d/dx(f(x))=(x-1)^3 (x-3)^2, then
ASSERTION (A)
: f(x) has a minimum at x=1.
REASON (R)
: When d/dx(f(x))<0,∀x∈(a-h, a ) and d/dx(f(x))>0,∀x∈(a,a+h); where ^′
h
' is an infinitesimally small positive quantity, then f(x) has a minimum at
x
=
a
, provided
f
(
x
) is continuous at
x
=
a
.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

Checking Assertion
ASSERTION (A): đ(đĽ) has a minimum at đĽ=1.
Finding minimum of đ(đ)
Differentiating w.r.t. x
đâ(đĽ) =(đĽâ1)^3 (đĽâ3)^2
Putting fâ(đ) = 0
(đĽâ1)^3 (đĽâ3)^2 = 0
Thus, either ă"(x â 1)" ă^2 = 0 and (đĽâ3)^2 = 0
â´ x = 1, 3
Checking maxima or minima at x = 1
â´ x = 1 is a point of minima
Hence, Assertion is true
Checking Reason
REASON (R): When đ/đđĽ(đ(đĽ))<0,âđĽâ(đââ, a ) and đ/đđĽ(đ(đĽ))>0,âđĽâ(đ,đ+â); where ^Ⲡđ ' is an infinitesimally small positive quantity, then đ(đĽ) has a minimum at đ=đ, provided đ(đ) is continuous at đ=đ.
Here, reasoning is describing the 1st derivative test
fâ(x) < 0 for x â(đââ, a) i.e. fâ(x) < 0 on left of x = a
fâ(x) > 0 for x â(đ,đ+â) i.e. fâ(x) > 0 on right of x = a
Since when sign fâ(x) changes from negative to positive, it is Minima
Hence, Reason is true
Is Reason a Correct explanation for Assertion?
Since we used the concept mentioned in Reasoning to check Assertion
Therefore, Reasoning is a correct explanation for Assertion
So,
Assertion is true
Reasoning is true
And, Reasoning is a correct explanation for Assertion
So, the correct answer is (a)
