Correct answer: A

  1. Use the condition g(f(x))=xg(f(x))=xg(f(x))=x

Since f(x)=αx5+βx3+γx,f(x)=\alpha x^5+\beta x^3+\gamma x,f(x)=αx5+βx3+γx, with α,β,γ>0\alpha,\beta,\gamma>0α,β,γ>0, we have f′(x)=5αx4+3βx2+γ>0∀x∈R.f'(x)=5\alpha x^4+3\beta x^2+\gamma>0 \quad \forall x\in\mathbb R.f′(x)=5αx4+3βx2+γ>0∀x∈R. So fff is strictly increasing on R\mathbb RR, hence one-one and onto (being an odd polynomial of odd degree). Therefore ggg is the inverse function of fff, so f(g(y))=yf(g(y))=yf(g(y))=y for every real yyy in the range of fff, and the range of fff is all of R\mathbb RR.

Thus, f(g(1n∑i=1nf(ai)))=1n∑i=1nf(ai).f\left(g\left(\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n f(a_i)\right)\right)=\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n f(a_i).f(g(n1​∑i=1n​f(ai​)))=n1​∑i=1n​f(ai​). So the problem reduces to finding 1n∑i=1nf(ai).\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n f(a_i).n1​∑i=1n​f(ai​).


  1. Use the fact that the terms are in A.P. with mean zero

Given a1,a2,…,ana_1,a_2,\dots,a_na1​,a2​,…,an​ are in arithmetic progression and their mean is zero, 1n∑i=1nai=0.\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n a_i=0.n1​∑i=1n​ai​=0.

Let the A.P. be written as ai=a+(i−1)d.a_i=a+(i-1)d.ai​=a+(i−1)d. Since its mean is zero, the sequence is symmetric about 000.

Now note that f(x)=αx5+βx3+γxf(x)=\alpha x^5+\beta x^3+\gamma xf(x)=αx5+βx3+γx is an odd function, because it contains only odd powers of xxx. Hence f(−x)=−f(x).f(-x)=-f(x).f(−x)=−f(x).

For an A.P. with mean zero, terms occur symmetrically as x,−xx,-xx,−x (and possibly one middle term 000 if nnn is odd). Therefore, ∑i=1nai=0,∑i=1nai3=0,∑i=1nai5=0.\sum_{i=1}^n a_i=0, \quad \sum_{i=1}^n a_i^3=0, \quad \sum_{i=1}^n a_i^5=0.∑i=1n​ai​=0,∑i=1n​ai3​=0,∑i=1n​ai5​=0. So,

Hence, 1n∑i=1nf(ai)=0.\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n f(a_i)=0.n1​∑i=1n​f(ai​)=0.


  1. Substitute back

Therefore, f(g(1n∑i=1nf(ai)))=f(g(0))=0.f\left(g\left(\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n f(a_i)\right)\right)=f(g(0))=0.f(g(n1​∑i=1n​f(ai​)))=f(g(0))=0. (Equivalently, since f∘gf\circ gf∘g is identity on R\mathbb RR, this is just the inside quantity.)


  1. Check options

The value is 0.0.0. So the correct option is:

A: 0
