Question:
Let $f$ be any function continuous on $[a, b]$ and twice differentiable on $(a, b)$. If for all $x \in(a, b), f^{\prime}(x)>0$ and
$f^{\prime \prime}(x)<0$, then for any $c \in(a, b), \frac{f(c)-f(a)}{f(b)-f(c)}$ is greater than:
Correct Option: , 4
Solution:
Since, function $f(x)$ is twice differentiable and continuous in $x \in[a, b]$. Then, by LMVT for $x \in[a, c]$
$\frac{f(c)-f(a)}{c-a}=f^{\prime}(\alpha), \alpha \in(a, c)$
