Detailed Solution

Given equation is f'(x)f(a)g'(x)g(a)=1a-bf(a)f(b)g(a)g(b).

f(x), g(x) are continuous and differentiable in a,b,a,b respectively.

Let us consider Lagrange's mean value theorem for f(x) and g(x).

Lagrange's mean value theorem: If a function is continuous and differentiable in a given interval a,b, then there exists

                                                      a point c in the interval such that f'(c)=f(b)-f(a)b-a.

f'(x)=f(b)-f(a)b-a and g'(x)=g(b)-g(a)b-a.

And both the functions have at least one real solution the combination of both functions will have at least one real solution in the interval a,b.

f(a)g'(x)-g(a)f'(x) will have at least one solution.

f(a)g'(x)-f'(x)g(a)=f(a)g(b)-g(a)b-a-g(a)f(b)-f(a)b-a                                        =1b-af(a)g(b)-f(a)g(a)-g(a)f(b)+g(a)f(a) f(a)g'(x)-f'(x)g(a)=f(a)g(b)-f(b)g(a)b-a ......i                                 

Now, by solving the given equation, we get

f'(x)g(a)-g'(x)f(a)=f(a)g(b)-g(a)f(b)b-a f(a)g'(x)-f'(x)g(a)=f(a)g(b)-g(a)f(b)a-b......ii

Hence, we got i=ii

As i having at least one root says ii i.e. the given equation have at least one root.

Thus, the equation have at least one root.

 Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
