Let $$f:\mathbb{R}-{0,1}\to \mathbb{R}$$ be a function such that $$f(x)+f\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right)=1+x$$. Then $$f(2)$$ is equal to
JEE · Math · previous-year question
- A.$$\frac{9}{4}$$correct
- B.$$\frac{7}{4}$$
- C.$$\frac{7}{3}$$
- D.$$\frac{9}{2}$$
Answer
A. $$\frac{9}{4}$$
Explanation
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{1-\mathrm{x}}\right)=1+\mathrm{x} \\\\ & \mathrm{x}=2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}(2)+\mathrm{f}(-1)=3 ........(1) \\\\ & \mathrm{x}=-1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}(-1)+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=0 .........(2) \\\\ & \mathrm{x}=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\mathrm{f}(2)=\frac{3}{2} ........(3) \\\\ & (1)+(3)-(2) \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{f}(2)=\frac{9}{2} \\\\ & \therefore \mathrm{f}(2)=\frac{9}{4}\end{aligned}$
