Answer: $\mathbf C$

Solution:

Given: $\mathrm {2f(x) + 3f(-x) = 15 - 4x }\tag{1}$

Substitute $\color {red} {\mathrm x}$ with $\color {red} {\mathrm {-x}}$, in the above question, we get:

$\mathrm {2f(-x) + 3 f(x) = 15 +4 x} \tag {2}$

On multiplying, Equation $(1)$ $\times$ $3$ and Equation $(2)$ $\times$ $2$, we get:

$\mathrm {6f(x) + 9f(-x) = 45-12x} \tag {3}$

and,

$\mathrm {4f(-x) + 6f(x) = 30 + 8x} \Rightarrow \mathrm {6f(x) + 4f(-x) = 30+8x} \tag{4}$

Subtracting equation $(3)$ and $(4)$,we get:

$\mathrm {5f(-x) = 15-20x}$

Now, substitute, $\mathrm x = -2$, we get:

$\mathrm {5f(2) = [15 - 20\times (-2)]}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{5f(2)} = 55$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{f(2) = \bf{11}}$

$\therefore \mathbf C$ is the correct option.

Given :                              2 f (x) + 3 f(-x) = 15 - 4x

put x = 2                            2 f (2) + 3 f(-2) =  7       ..................( 1 )

put x = -2                           2 f(-2)  + 3 (2) = 23       ...................( 2 )

Now    do       2 * eq. ( 1 ) - 3 * eq. ( 2 )

5 * f ( 2) = 55

f ( 2 )=11

If $f(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} \sin x}{2+\cos x}$, then the range of $f(x)$ is the interval $[-1 , \sqrt{3}{/2}]$ the interval $[-\sqrt{3}{/2}, 1]$ the interval $[-1, 1]$ none of these

Suppose that the function $h(x)$ is defined as $h(x)=g(f(x))$ where $g(x)$ is monotone increasing, $f(x)$ is concave, and $g’’(x)$ and $f’’(x)$ exist for all $x$. Then $h(x)$ is always concave always convex not necessarily concave None of these
Let $f(x) = \dfrac{2x}{x-1}, \: x \neq 1$. State which of the following statements is true. For all real $y$, there exists $x$ such that $f(x)=y$ For all real $y \neq 1$, there exists $x$ such that $f(x)=y$ For all real $y \neq 2$, there exists $x$ such that $f(x)=y$ None of the above is true
Let $f(x)$ be a continuous function from $[0,1]$ to $[0,1]$ satisfying the following properties. $f(0)=0$, $f(1)=1$, and $f(x_1)<f(x_2)$ for $x_1 < x_2$ with $0 < x_1, \: x_2<1$. Then the number of such functions is $0$ $1$ $2$ $\infty$
