MCQ
Let $f, \mathrm{~g}:(1, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be defined as $f(\mathrm{x})=\frac{2 x+3}{5 x+2}$ and $g(x)=\frac{2-3 x}{1-x}$. If the range of the function $fo g:[2,4] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is $[\alpha, \beta]$, then $\frac{1}{\beta-\alpha}$ is equal to
  • A
    68
  • B
    29
  • C
    2
  • 56

Answer

Correct option: D.
56
(D) 56
fog $(x)=f(g(x))$
$=f\left(\frac{2-3 x}{1-x}\right)=\frac{2\left(\frac{2-3 x}{1-x}\right)+3}{5\left(\frac{2-3 x}{1-x}\right)+2}$
$=\frac{4-6 x+3-3 x}{10-15 x+2-2 x}=\left(\frac{7-9 x}{12-17 x}\right)$
$\therefore\left[\begin{array}{c}12-7 \mathrm{x} \neq 0 \\ \mathrm{x} \neq \frac{12}{17}\end{array}\right.$
$\left[\begin{array}{l}\operatorname{fog}(2)=\frac{7-9(2)}{12-17(2)}=\frac{-11}{-22}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \operatorname{fog}(4)=\frac{7-9(4)}{12-17(4)}=\frac{-29}{-56}=\frac{29}{56}\end{array}\right.$
Range of fog : $[\alpha, \beta]=\left[\frac{1}{2}, \frac{29}{56}\right]$
$\therefore(\beta-\alpha)=\frac{29}{56}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{29-28}{56}=\frac{1}{56}$
$\frac{1}{(\beta-\alpha)}=56$
