Let unknown polynomial is P(x) and Q(x) and G(x) be the quotient and remainder, respectively,
when it is divided by  x  3 x  4

 P  x    x  3 x  4 Q  x   G  x

Then we have G  x  ax  b

 P  x    x  3  x  4 Q  x  ax  b

Given that P  3  2 and P  4  1

Solution (d) For Rolle’s theorem to be applicable to f, for x  [0, 1] , we should have (i)
f (1)  f (0) ,
(ii) f is continuous for x  [0, 1] and f is differentiable for x  (0, 1)
From (i), f (1)  0 , which is true.

From (ii), 0  f (0 )  f (0  )  lim x  ln x

Which is true only for positive values of  , thus (d) is correct.
