$$fx=$$α$$x3-$$β$$x-tanx$$· Sgnx ,  where α$$=a$$ $$2-5a+4$$ ,β $$=$$ $$6a2-5a+1$$ since f is even function ⇒$$f-x=fx$$ ⇒ $$-$$α$$x3+$$β$$x-tanx$$ ·$$Sgnx=$$α$$x3-$$β$$x-tanx$$ ·Sgnx ⇒ $$2$$α$$x3-$$β$$x=0$$ for all x ∈R⇒α $$=0$$ and β$$=0$$   Identity in x therefore $$a2-5a+4=0$$  and $$6a2-5a+1=0$$ ⇒          $$a=1$$ or a $$=4$$    and  $$a=13$$ or $$12$$     ⇒  a $$=$$ $$1+13$$ ,$$1+12$$,$$4+13$$,$$4+12$$ ⇒  sum of the values of a $$=353$$

$Let f (x) = ([a]^{2} - 5 [a] + 4) x^{3} - (6 {a}^{2} - 5 {a} + 1) x - (\tan x) \times sgn x be an even function for all x \in R . Then the sum of$
$all possible values of a is (where [ ] and {\cdot} denote greatest integer function and fractional part function, respectively)$
