Correct answer: C

  1. Given functions

We have g(t)=∫1tf(u) dug(t)=\int_1^t f(u)\,dug(t)=∫1t​f(u)du with fff continuous on [0,5][0,5][0,5] and f(1)=3f(1)=3f(1)=3.

Also, F(x)=∫1xt2g(t) dt.F(x)=\int_1^x t^2 g(t)\,dt.F(x)=∫1x​t2g(t)dt.

We need to determine the nature of the point x=1x=1x=1 for FFF.


  1. Differentiate FFF using Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Since the integrand t2g(t)t^2g(t)t2g(t) is continuous, F′(x)=x2g(x).F'(x)=x^2 g(x).F′(x)=x2g(x).

Now at x=1x=1x=1, g(1)=∫11f(u) du=0.g(1)=\int_1^1 f(u)\,du=0.g(1)=∫11​f(u)du=0. Therefore, F′(1)=12⋅g(1)=0.F'(1)=1^2\cdot g(1)=0.F′(1)=12⋅g(1)=0.

So x=1x=1x=1 is a critical point. Hence option D is false.


  1. Find higher derivatives

Differentiate again: F′′(x)=ddx(x2g(x))=2xg(x)+x2g′(x).F''(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\big(x^2 g(x)\big)=2xg(x)+x^2 g'(x).F′′(x)=dxd​(x2g(x))=2xg(x)+x2g′(x).

But g′(x)=f(x)g'(x)=f(x)g′(x)=f(x) by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

So, F′′(x)=2xg(x)+x2f(x).F''(x)=2xg(x)+x^2 f(x).F′′(x)=2xg(x)+x2f(x).

At x=1x=1x=1, F′′(1)=2(1)g(1)+(1)2f(1)=0+3=3>0.F''(1)=2(1)g(1)+(1)^2f(1)=0+3=3>0.F′′(1)=2(1)g(1)+(1)2f(1)=0+3=3>0.

Therefore, by the second derivative test, x=1x=1x=1 is a point of local minimum of FFF.

So option C is correct.


  1. Check other options
  • A: point of inflection — false, since F′′(1)=3≠0F''(1)=3\ne 0F′′(1)=3=0 and is positive, so no sign change indication at x=1x=1x=1.
  • B: local maxima — false, because F′′(1)>0F''(1)>0F′′(1)>0 implies local minimum, not maximum.
  • C: local minima — true.
  • D: not a critical point — false, because F′(1)=0F'(1)=0F′(1)=0.

  1. Final answer

Hence, for FFF, the point x=1x=1x=1 is a point of local minima.
