Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 21 January (Evening Shift)

Let f : R R be a twice differentiable function such that f''(x) > 0 for all x R and f'(a - 1) = 0, where a is a real number. Let g(x) = f( 2 x - 2 x + a), 0 < x < 2. Consider the following two statements: (I) g is increasing in (0, 4 ) (II) g is decreasing in ( 4, 2 ) Then,

  1. Both (I) and (II) are True
  2. Neither (I) nor (II) is True
  3. Only (I) is True
  4. Only (II) is True

Answer

(2) Neither (I) nor (II) is True

Solution

f''(x) > 0 ⇒ f' is strictly increasing, and f'(a - 1) = 0

Let u = 2 x - 2 x + a = ( x - 1)2 + a - 1 a - 1

f'(u) f'(a - 1) = 0, with f'(u) > 0 for x 4

g'(x) = f'(u) (2 x 2 x - 2 2 x) = 2 2 x ( x - 1) f'(u)

For 0 < x < 4: x - 1 < 0 ⇒ g'(x) < 0 ⇒ g is decreasing

For 4 < x < 2: x - 1 > 0 ⇒ g'(x) > 0 ⇒ g is increasing

(I) is false and (II) is false

Answer: (2)
