The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Differentiate \( 3\int_0^x f(t)\,dt = 2f(x)^3 \): \( 3f(x) = 6f(x)^2 f'(x) \). As f is non-zero, \( 2 f(x) f'(x) = 1 \), so \( f(x)^2 = x + c \).
Putting x = 0 in the given relation gives \( f(0) = 0 \), so c = 0 and \( f(x)^2 = x \).
Then \( f^4 = x^2 \) and \( f^{12} = x^6 \), so the integral is \( \int_0^1 \frac{3x^2}{\sqrt{1 + x^6}}\,dx \).
Put \( u = x^3 \), \( du = 3x^2\,dx \): \( \int_0^1 \frac{du}{\sqrt{1 + u^2}} = \left[\ln(u + \sqrt{1 + u^2})\right]_0^1 = \ln(1 + \sqrt{2}) \).
Answer: (3) \( \log_e(1 + \sqrt{2}) \)
