Question:

Let $f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathrm{R}$ be such that $f(\mathrm{xy})=f(\mathrm{x}) . f(\mathrm{y})$ for all $\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \varepsilon[0,1]$, and $f(0) \neq 0$. If $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{y}(\mathrm{x})$ satisfies the

differential equation, $\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=f(\mathrm{x})$ with

$y(0)=1$, then $y\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)+y\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$ is equal to

  1. 4

  2. 3

  3. 5

  4. 2


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

$f(x y)=f(x) . f(y)$

$f(0)=1$ as $f(0) \neq 0$

$\Rightarrow f(x)=1$

$\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=f(\mathrm{x})=1$

$\Rightarrow y=x+c$

At, $x=0, y=1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=1$

$y=x+1$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)+\mathrm{y}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)=\frac{1}{4}+1+\frac{3}{4}+1=3$
