 If y=alog|x|+bx2+x has its extremum values at x=1 and x=2, then

a
a  =  2,   b  =  −1
b
a  =  2,   b  =  −1/2
c
a  =  −2,   b  =  1/2
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

We have y′=alx+2bx+1 and y′(−1)=0 and y′(2)=0∴ −a−2b+1=0 and a/2+4b+1=0⇒ a/2−2a+2+1=0 Hence a=2 and b=−1/2
