Question

For every pair of continuous functions f, g : [0, 1] →R  such that
max {f(x) : x ∈ [0, 1]} = max {g(x) : x ∈ [0, 1]}, the correct statement(s) is(are) :

Options

A.(f(c))2 + 3f(c) = (g(c))2 + 3g(c) for some c ∈ [0, 1]
B.(f(c))2 + f(c) = (g(c))2 + 3g(c) for some c ∈ [0, 1]
C.(f(c))2 + 3f(c) = (g(c))2 + g(c) for some c ∈ [0, 1]
D.(f(c))2 = (g(c))2 for some c ∈ [0, 1]

Solution

Let f and g be maximum at c1 and c2 respectively, c1, c2 ∈ (0, 1)
Let h(x) = f(x) - g(x)
Now h(c1) = f(c1) - g(c1) = + ve
and h(c2) = f(c2) - g(c2) = - ve
∴ h(x) = 0 has at least one root in (c1, c2)
∴ f(x) = g(x) for some x = c ∈ (c1, c2)
∴ f(c) = g(c) for some c ∈ (0, 1)
Clearly (A, D) are correct
