Letfx=sinπxx2, x>0.
Letx1<x2<x3<<xn<be all the points of local maximum offandy1<y2<y3<<yn<be all the points of local minimum off.
Then which of the following options is/are correct?

Question diagram: Let f x = sin ⁡ π x x 2 , x > 0 . Let x 1 < x 2 < x 3 < … <

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C, D
Solution:

f'x=2xcosπxπx2-tanπxx4…(i)
for maxima/minimaf'x=0
cosπx=0orπx2=tanπx
cosπx0tanπx will not be defined
 maxima/minima will occur
Wheretanπx=πx2

CaseI:
iFor example
Inx2n, 2n+12at pointP2, x2,52
cosπx>0
and atP2+, tanπx>πx2
atP2-, tanπx<πx2
hence from equation (i)
inx2n, 2n+12, f'xgoes from positive to negative
henceP2is maxima
SimilarlyP2, P4, P6… are point of maxima and all lies inx2n, 2n+12
CaseII
Inx2n+1, 2n+32
iifor example atP1, x1,32
cosπx<0
atP1+, tanπx>πx2
and atP1-, tanπx<πx2
hence from equation (i)
inx2n+1, 2n+32, f'xgoes from negative to positive
so, for the minimay1:1<y1<32
y2:3<y2<72
y3:5<y3<112
and for the maximax1:2<x1<52
x2:4<x2<92
x3:6<x3<132
Hencexn>yna
 now,
x1>y1
tanπx1>tanπy1
tanπx1>tanπ+πy1
tanπx1>tanπ1+y1
πx1>π1+y1
x1>1+y1
Similarly,xn>1+yn
xn-yn>1…(b)
xn-yn>1
y2>x1
tanπy2>tanπx1
tanπy2>tanπ+πx1y2>x1+1
yn+1>xn+1
Thereforexn<yn+1<xn+1yn+1-xn>1…(c)
Now considerxn+1-xn=xn+1-yn+1+yn+1-xn
From (b) and (c)
xn+1-xn>2
