MCQ
Let $\phi(\text{x})=\text{f}(\text{x})+\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})$ and f'(x) > 0 for all $\text{x}\in[0,\text{a}].$ Then, $\phi(\text{x}):$
  • A
    Increases on [0, a]
  • Decreases on [0, a]
  • C
    Increases on [-a, 0]
  • D
    Decreases on [a, 2a]

Answer

Correct option: B.
Decreases on [0, a]
$\phi(\text{x})=\text{f}(\text{x})+\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})$
$\phi'(\text{x})=\text{f}'(\text{x})-\text{f}'(2\text{a}-\text{x})$
$\text{f}''(\text{x})>0$ as $\text{f}'(\text{x})>0$
Considering $\text{x}\in[0,\text{a}]$
$\text{x}\leq2\text{a}-\text{x}$
$\text{f}'(\text{x})\leq\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})$
Also, $\phi(\text{x})=\text{f}'(\text{x})-\text{f}'(2\text{a}-\text{x})$
$\phi(\text{x})$ is decreasing on [0, a]
