Detailed Solution

When f(x)  is divided by x1andx+1  the remainders are 5 and 19 respectively.

  f(1)=5andf(1)=19

142×13+3×12a×1+b=5

And, (1)42×(1)3+3×(1)2a×1+b=19

12+3a+b=5and1+2+3+a+b=19

2a+b=5and6+a+b=19a+b=3anda+b=13

Adding these two equations, we get

(a+b)+(a+b)=3+132b=16b=8  

Putting b=8  ina+b=3,  we get

a+8=3a=5

Putting the values of aandb in

f(x)=x42x3+3x25x+8

The remainder when f(x)  is divided by (x2)  is equal to f(2).

So, Remainder =f(2)=242×23+3×225×2+8=1616+1210+8=10
