    If the function\[f(x)=a{{x}^{3}}+b{{x}^{2}}+11x-6\]satisfies the condition of Rollers theorem in\[[1,\,\,3]\]and\[f\left( 2+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)=0\], then the values of \[a,\text{ }b\]are respectively

    A)  - 1, 6                    

    B)  - 2, 1

    C)  1, -6     

    D)        \[-1,\,\,\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    By Rolles theorem,                 \[f(1)=f(3)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a+b+11-6=27a+9b+33-6\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[26a+8b+22=0\] \[13a+4b+11=0\]                                              ... (i) Now,     \[f(x)=3a\,\,{{x}^{2}}+2b\,\,{{x}^{2}}+11\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f\left( 2+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\] \[=3a{{\left( 2+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)}^{2}}+2b\left( 2+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)+11\] \[\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,0=3a\,\left( 4+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} \right)+4b+\frac{2b}{\sqrt{3}}+11\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[13a+4b+\frac{12a}{\sqrt{3}}+\frac{2b}{\sqrt{3}}+11=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-11+\frac{12a}{\sqrt{3}}+\frac{2b}{\sqrt{3}}+11=0\]                                                                 [from Eq.(i)] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[6a+b=0\]                                          ... (ii) On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[a=1,\,\,b=-6\]
