Detailed Solution

we have,

f(x)=xcos1x,x1

f(x)=cos1x+1xsin1x and f′′(x)=1x3cos1x

 limxf(x)=1 and f′′(x)<0 for all x1

 f(x) is strictly decreasing in the interval (1 ,)

Let g(x)=f(x+2)f(x) . Then 

g(x)=f(x+2)f(x)<0      [ f'(x)) is strictly decreasing]

g(x) is strictly decreasing on  (1 ,)

Now, 

limxg(x)=limxf(x+2)f(x)=limx(x+2)cos1x+2xcos1x 

=limxxcos1x+2cos1x+2cos1x+2=limx2xsinx+1x2+2xsin1x2+2x+2cos1x+2=2limxsinx+1x2+12xx+1x2+12x×sin1x2+2x1x2+2x×x(x+1)x2+2x2+2cos1x=2×1×1×0+2=2

As g(x) is decreasing on [1, ] and limxg(x)=2

 g(x)>2 for all x[1,)

 f(x+2)f(x)>2 for all  x[1,)

Hence, option (a) is incorrect
