Correct answer: D

  1. We need the domain of the composite function f∘gf\circ gf∘g, i.e. f(g(x))f(g(x))f(g(x)).

  2. Given: f(x)=2x+32x+1,domain of f=R∖{−12}f(x)=\frac{2x+3}{2x+1}, \qquad \text{domain of } f = \mathbb{R}\setminus\left\{-\frac12\right\}f(x)=2x+12x+3​,domain of f=R∖{−21​} g(x)=∣x∣+12x+5,domain of g=R∖{−52}g(x)=\frac{|x|+1}{2x+5}, \qquad \text{domain of } g = \mathbb{R}\setminus\left\{-\frac52\right\}g(x)=2x+5∣x∣+1​,domain of g=R∖{−25​}

  3. For f(g(x))f(g(x))f(g(x)) to be defined, two conditions are necessary:

    1. g(x)g(x)g(x) must be defined.
    2. g(x)g(x)g(x) must belong to the domain of fff, i.e. g(x)≠−12g(x)\neq -\frac12g(x)=−21​

Step 1: Ensure g(x)g(x)g(x) is defined

Since g(x)=∣x∣+12x+5,g(x)=\frac{|x|+1}{2x+5},g(x)=2x+5∣x∣+1​, it is undefined when 2x+5=0  ⟹  x=−52.2x+5=0 \implies x=-\frac52.2x+5=0⟹x=−25​. So, we must exclude x=−52.x=-\frac52.x=−25​.


Step 2: Ensure g(x)≠−12g(x)\neq -\frac12g(x)=−21​

We solve: ∣x∣+12x+5=−12.\frac{|x|+1}{2x+5}=-\frac12.2x+5∣x∣+1​=−21​.

Cross-multiplying: 2(∣x∣+1)=−(2x+5)2(|x|+1)=-(2x+5)2(∣x∣+1)=−(2x+5) 2∣x∣+2=−2x−52|x|+2=-2x-52∣x∣+2=−2x−5 2∣x∣+2x=−7.2|x|+2x=-7.2∣x∣+2x=−7.

Now consider cases.

Case 1: x≥0x\ge 0x≥0

Then ∣x∣=x|x|=x∣x∣=x, so 2x+2x=−72x+2x=-72x+2x=−7 4x=−74x=-74x=−7 x=−74,x=-\frac74,x=−47​, which contradicts x≥0x\ge 0x≥0. So no solution here.

Case 2: x<0x<0x<0

Then ∣x∣=−x|x|=-x∣x∣=−x, so 2(−x)+2x=−72(-x)+2x=-72(−x)+2x=−7 0=−7,0=-7,0=−7, which is impossible.

Hence, there is no real xxx such that g(x)=−12.g(x)=-\frac12.g(x)=−21​.

So no extra value needs to be excluded.


Step 3: Domain of f∘gf\circ gf∘g

Therefore, the only restriction comes from the domain of ggg: R∖{−52}\boxed{\mathbb{R}\setminus\left\{-\frac52\right\}}R∖{−25​}​

This corresponds to Option D.
