Correct answer: B

  1. We are given that for all x,y∈Rx,y\in \mathbb{R}x,y∈R, ∣f(x)−f(y)∣≤(x−y)2|f(x)-f(y)|\le (x-y)^2∣f(x)−f(y)∣≤(x−y)2 and fff is differentiable with f(0)=0f(0)=0f(0)=0.

We need to find f(1)f(1)f(1).

  1. Since fff is differentiable, let us use the given inequality to study the derivative.

Take any fixed x∈Rx\in \mathbb{R}x∈R and let y=x+hy=x+hy=x+h where h≠0h\neq 0h=0. Then ∣f(x+h)−f(x)∣≤h2.|f(x+h)-f(x)|\le h^2.∣f(x+h)−f(x)∣≤h2. Divide both sides by ∣h∣|h|∣h∣: ∣f(x+h)−f(x)h∣≤∣h∣.\left|\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\right|\le |h|.​hf(x+h)−f(x)​​≤∣h∣.

  1. Now let h→0h\to 0h→0. Since fff is differentiable at xxx, lim⁡h→0f(x+h)−f(x)h=f′(x).\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=f'(x).limh→0​hf(x+h)−f(x)​=f′(x). From the inequality above, ∣f(x+h)−f(x)h∣≤∣h∣→0.\left|\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\right|\le |h| \to 0.​hf(x+h)−f(x)​​≤∣h∣→0. Hence by squeeze theorem, ∣f′(x)∣=0  ⟹  f′(x)=0|f'(x)|=0 \implies f'(x)=0∣f′(x)∣=0⟹f′(x)=0 for every x∈Rx\in \mathbb{R}x∈R.

  2. Therefore, f′(x)=0f'(x)=0f′(x)=0 for all xxx, so fff must be a constant function on R\mathbb{R}R.

Let f(x)=cf(x)=cf(x)=c. Given f(0)=0f(0)=0f(0)=0, we get c=0.c=0.c=0. So, f(x)=0for all x.f(x)=0 \quad \text{for all } x.f(x)=0for all x. In particular, f(1)=0.f(1)=0.f(1)=0.

  1. Checking options:
  • A: −1-1−1 ❌
  • B: 000 ✅
  • C: 222 ❌
  • D: 111 ❌

Therefore the correct answer is B.
