Correct answer: B

  1. Differentiate g(x)g(x)g(x)

Given g(x)=f(x)+f(1−x).g(x)=f(x)+f(1-x).g(x)=f(x)+f(1−x). Differentiate: g′(x)=f′(x)−f′(1−x).g'(x)=f'(x)-f'(1-x).g′(x)=f′(x)−f′(1−x).

Again, g′′(x)=f′′(x)+f′′(1−x).g''(x)=f''(x)+f''(1-x).g′′(x)=f′′(x)+f′′(1−x). Since f′′(x)>0f''(x)>0f′′(x)>0 for all x∈(0,1)x\in(0,1)x∈(0,1), we get g′′(x)>0for all x∈(0,1).g''(x)>0 \quad \text{for all } x\in(0,1).g′′(x)>0for all x∈(0,1). So ggg is strictly convex, hence g′(x)g'(x)g′(x) is strictly increasing on (0,1)(0,1)(0,1).


  1. Use symmetry of ggg

Observe: g(1−x)=f(1−x)+f(x)=g(x).g(1-x)=f(1-x)+f(x)=g(x).g(1−x)=f(1−x)+f(x)=g(x). So ggg is symmetric about x=12x=\tfrac12x=21​.

Now check derivative at x=12x=\tfrac12x=21​: g′ ⁣(12)=f′ ⁣(12)−f′ ⁣(1−12)=0.g'\!\left(\tfrac12\right)=f'\!\left(\tfrac12\right)-f'\!\left(1-\tfrac12\right)=0.g′(21​)=f′(21​)−f′(1−21​)=0.

Because g′g'g′ is strictly increasing and vanishes at x=12x=\tfrac12x=21​, we have:

  • g′(x)<0g'(x)<0g′(x)<0 for x<12x<\tfrac12x<21​ ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ ggg is decreasing on (0,12)\left(0,\tfrac12\right)(0,21​),
  • g′(x)>0g'(x)>0g′(x)>0 for x>12x>\tfrac12x>21​ ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ ggg is increasing on (12,1)\left(\tfrac12,1\right)(21​,1).

Hence, α=12.\alpha=\frac12.α=21​.


  1. Evaluate the given expression

We need tan⁡−1(2α)+tan⁡−1(1α)+tan⁡−1(α+1α).\tan^{-1}(2\alpha)+\tan^{-1}\left(\frac1\alpha\right)+\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\alpha+1}{\alpha}\right).tan−1(2α)+tan−1(α1​)+tan−1(αα+1​). Substitute α=12\alpha=\tfrac12α=21​: tan⁡−1(1)+tan⁡−1(2)+tan⁡−1(3).\tan^{-1}(1)+\tan^{-1}(2)+\tan^{-1}(3).tan−1(1)+tan−1(2)+tan−1(3).

Now, tan⁡−1(1)=π4.\tan^{-1}(1)=\frac\pi4.tan−1(1)=4π​. Also, tan⁡−1(2)+tan⁡−1(3)=π−tan⁡−1(2+31−2⋅3)\tan^{-1}(2)+\tan^{-1}(3)=\pi-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2+3}{1-2\cdot 3}\right)tan−1(2)+tan−1(3)=π−tan−1(1−2⋅32+3​) but it is easier to combine stepwise.

First, tan⁡−1(1)+tan⁡−1(2).\tan^{-1}(1)+\tan^{-1}(2).tan−1(1)+tan−1(2). Since 1⋅2=2>1,1\cdot 2=2>1,1⋅2=2>1, we use the adjusted formula: tan⁡−1(1)+tan⁡−1(2)=π+tan⁡−1(1+21−2)=π+tan⁡−1(−3)=π−tan⁡−1(3).\tan^{-1}(1)+\tan^{-1}(2)=\pi+\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1+2}{1-2}\right)=\pi+\tan^{-1}(-3)=\pi-\tan^{-1}(3).tan−1(1)+tan−1(2)=π+tan−1(1−21+2​)=π+tan−1(−3)=π−tan−1(3). Therefore, tan⁡−1(1)+tan⁡−1(2)+tan⁡−1(3)=π.\tan^{-1}(1)+\tan^{-1}(2)+\tan^{-1}(3)=\pi.tan−1(1)+tan−1(2)+tan−1(3)=π.

So the value is π.\boxed{\pi}.π​.
