MCQ
Let $f$ be any function continuous on $[\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}]$ and twice differentiable on $(a, b) .$ If for all $x \in(a, b)$ $f^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})>0$ and $f^{\prime \prime}(\mathrm{x})<0,$ then for any $\mathrm{c} \in(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b})$ $\frac{f(\mathrm{c})-f(\mathrm{a})}{f(\mathrm{b})-f(\mathrm{c})}$ is greater than
  • A
    $\frac{b+a}{b-a}$
  • B
    $\frac{b-c}{c-a}$
  • $\frac{c-a}{b-c}$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{c-a}{b-c}$
c
it is clear from graph that $\mathrm{m}_{1}>\mathrm{m}_{2}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{f(\mathrm{c})-f(\mathrm{a})}{\mathrm{c}-\mathrm{a}}>\frac{f(\mathrm{b})-f(\mathrm{c})}{\mathrm{b}-\mathrm{c}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{f(c)-f(a)}{f(b)-f(c)}>\frac{c-a}{b-c}$
