Detailed Solution

Given function f:0,4R is differentiable in given interval.

 Here, f is differentiable f is also continuous.  

Lagrange's mean value theorem: Let a function f be defined such that f:[a,b]R be a continuous function on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b). Then there exists some a point c in this interval (a,b) such that the derivative of the function at the point c is equal to the difference of the function values at these points, divided by the difference of the point values.

f'(c)=f(b)-f(a)b-a

Now, by Lagrange's mean value theorem, there exist a(0,4) such that

f'(a)=f(4)-f(0)4-0=f(4)-f(0)4

Intermediate Mean value theorem: If a function f(x) that is continuous on an interval a,b, then for every y-value between f(a) and f(b), there exists some x-value in the interval a,b.

Also, by intermediate mean value theorem, there exists b(0,4) such that

f(b)=f(4)+f(0)2

By above both equations we get,

f'(a)f(b)=f(4)-f(0)4×f(4)+f(0)2 f'(a)f(b)=(f(4))2-(f(0))28 (f(4))2-(f(0))2=8f'(a)f(b)

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
