    Using Rolle?s theorem the equation \[{{\text{a}}_{\text{0}}}{{\text{x}}^{\text{n}}}\text{+}{{\text{a}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{x}}^{\text{n-1}}}\text{+}....\text{+}{{\text{a}}_{\text{n}}}\text{=0}\] has atleast one root between 0 and and 1, if

    A) \[\frac{{{a}_{0}}}{n}+\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{n-1}+....+{{a}_{n-1}}=0\]

    B) \[\frac{{{a}_{0}}}{n-1}+\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{n-2}+....+{{a}_{n-2}}=0\]

    C) \[n{{a}_{0}}+\left( n-1 \right){{a}_{1}}+....+{{a}_{n-1}}=0\]

    D) \[\frac{{{a}_{0}}}{n+1}+\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{n}+.....+{{a}_{n}}=0\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Consider the function f defined by \[\because \] Since, f(x) is a polynomial, so it is continuous and differentiable for all x. Consequently, f(x) is continuous in the closed interval [0, 1] and differentiable in the open Also, f(0) = 0 and \[\alpha ={{\omega }^{2}}\theta \]i.e.    f(0) = f(1) Thus  al the three conditions of Rolle?s  theorem are satisfied. Hence there is atleast one value of x in the open interval (0, 1), where f?(x) = 0 i.e.  \[\Rightarrow \]
