D
$3$

Answer

Correct option: A.

$2$

a
(a) $f(x) = 2{x^3} - 15{x^2} + 36x + 4$

==> $f'(x) = 6{x^2} - 30x + 36$.…..$(i)$

We know that for its maximum value $f'(x) = 0.$

$6{x^2} - 30x + 36 = 0$ ==> $(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0$ ==> $x = 2,\,3.$

Again differentiating equation $(i),$ we get

$f''(x) = 12x - 30$ ==> $f''(2) = 24 - 30 = - 6 < 0$.

Therefore $f(x)$ is maximum at $x = 2.$
