Correct answer: B, C

  1. Interpret the given relations

We are given f(x)=x3+3x+2f(x)=x^3+3x+2f(x)=x3+3x+2 with g(f(x))=x  for all x∈R.g(f(x))=x \,\text{ for all } x\in \mathbb R.g(f(x))=x for all x∈R. So, ggg is the inverse function of fff: g=f−1.g=f^{-1}.g=f−1.

Also, h(g(g(x)))=xfor all x∈R.h(g(g(x)))=x \quad \text{for all } x\in \mathbb R.h(g(g(x)))=xfor all x∈R. This means hhh is the inverse of the function x↦g(g(x))x\mapsto g(g(x))x↦g(g(x)).


  1. Useful values of fff and ggg

Since g=f−1g=f^{-1}g=f−1, we can find g(a)g(a)g(a) by solving f(x)=af(x)=af(x)=a.

  • For a=2a=2a=2: f(0)=03+3(0)+2=2f(0)=0^3+3(0)+2=2f(0)=03+3(0)+2=2 Hence, g(2)=0.g(2)=0.g(2)=0.

  • For a=0a=0a=0: Solve x3+3x+2=0.x^3+3x+2=0.x3+3x+2=0. Checking x=−1x=-1x=−1: (−1)3+3(−1)+2=−1−3+2=−2≠0.(-1)^3+3(-1)+2=-1-3+2=-2 \neq 0.(−1)3+3(−1)+2=−1−3+2=−2=0. Checking $x?$$ We will use this later only if needed.

  • For a=3a=3a=3: Solve x3+3x+2=3  ⟺  x3+3x−1=0.x^3+3x+2=3 \iff x^3+3x-1=0.x3+3x+2=3⟺x3+3x−1=0. So g(3)g(3)g(3) is the real root of x3+3x−1=0x^3+3x-1=0x3+3x−1=0.


  1. Check option A: g′(2)=115g'(2)=\frac1{15}g′(2)=151​

Since g=f−1g=f^{-1}g=f−1, g′(y)=1f′(g(y)).g'(y)=\frac{1}{f'(g(y))}.g′(y)=f′(g(y))1​. Now, f′(x)=3x2+3.f'(x)=3x^2+3.f′(x)=3x2+3. At y=2y=2y=2, we have g(2)=0g(2)=0g(2)=0, so g′(2)=1f′(0)=13.g'(2)=\frac{1}{f'(0)}=\frac{1}{3}.g′(2)=f′(0)1​=31​. Thus, g′(2)=13≠115.g'(2)=\frac13 \neq \frac1{15}.g′(2)=31​=151​.

So A is false.


  1. Understand hhh from h(g(g(x)))=xh(g(g(x)))=xh(g(g(x)))=x

Since g=f−1g=f^{-1}g=f−1, g(g(x))=(f−1∘f−1)(x).g(g(x))=(f^{-1}\circ f^{-1})(x).g(g(x))=(f−1∘f−1)(x). If hhh is the inverse of g∘gg\circ gg∘g, then h=(g∘g)−1=f∘f.h=(g\circ g)^{-1}=f\circ f.h=(g∘g)−1=f∘f. This is because (g∘g)−1=g−1∘g−1=f∘f.(g\circ g)^{-1}=g^{-1}\circ g^{-1}=f\circ f.(g∘g)−1=g−1∘g−1=f∘f. Therefore, h(x)=f(f(x)).h(x)=f(f(x)).h(x)=f(f(x)).

This makes the rest easy.


  1. Check option C: h(0)=16h(0)=16h(0)=16

Since h=f∘fh=f\circ fh=f∘f, h(0)=f(f(0)).h(0)=f(f(0)).h(0)=f(f(0)). Now, f(0)=2.f(0)=2.f(0)=2. Then, f(2)=23+3(2)+2=8+6+2=16.f(2)=2^3+3(2)+2=8+6+2=16.f(2)=23+3(2)+2=8+6+2=16. Hence, h(0)=16.h(0)=16.h(0)=16.

So C is true.


  1. Check option B: h′(1)=666h'(1)=666h′(1)=666

Since h(x)=f(f(x)),h(x)=f(f(x)),h(x)=f(f(x)), by chain rule, h′(x)=f′(f(x))⋅f′(x).h'(x)=f'(f(x))\cdot f'(x).h′(x)=f′(f(x))⋅f′(x). First compute: f(1)=13+3(1)+2=6.f(1)=1^3+3(1)+2=6.f(1)=13+3(1)+2=6. Also, f′(x)=3x2+3.f'(x)=3x^2+3.f′(x)=3x2+3. So, f′(1)=3(1)2+3=6,f'(1)=3(1)^2+3=6,f′(1)=3(1)2+3=6, f′(6)=3(6)2+3=108+3=111.f'(6)=3(6)^2+3=108+3=111.f′(6)=3(6)2+3=108+3=111. Therefore, h′(1)=f′(6) f′(1)=111⋅6=666.h'(1)=f'(6)\,f'(1)=111\cdot 6=666.h′(1)=f′(6)f′(1)=111⋅6=666.

So B is true.


  1. Check option D: h(g(3))=36h(g(3))=36h(g(3))=36

Using h=f∘fh=f\circ fh=f∘f, h(g(3))=f(f(g(3))).h(g(3))=f(f(g(3))).h(g(3))=f(f(g(3))). Since f(g(3))=3f(g(3))=3f(g(3))=3 (because g=f−1g=f^{-1}g=f−1), h(g(3))=f(3)=33+3(3)+2=27+9+2=38.h(g(3))=f(3)=3^3+3(3)+2=27+9+2=38.h(g(3))=f(3)=33+3(3)+2=27+9+2=38. Thus, h(g(3))=38≠36.h(g(3))=38 \neq 36.h(g(3))=38=36.

So D is false.
