We are given the functional equation \( f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) + 1 - \frac{2}{7}xy \) and the form of \( f(x) \).
Step 1: First, solve for the values of \( a \) and \( b \) by substituting \( x = y = 0 \) into the functional equation. This simplifies the equation.
Step 2: For \( f(x) \), substitute the given expression for \( f(x) \) and use the relation from step 1 to find \( a \) and \( b \).
Step 3: Once we have \( a \) and \( b \), calculate \( f(x) \) for \( x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 \).
Step 4: Now calculate \( 28 \sum_{i=1}^5 f(i) \) by plugging the values of \( f(i) \) into the summation.
Final Conclusion: The value of \( 28 \sum_{i=1}^5 f(i) \) is 735, which is Option 2.
A substance 'X' (1.5 g) dissolved in 150 g of a solvent 'Y' (molar mass = 300 g mol$^{-1}$) led to an elevation of the boiling point by 0.5 K. The relative lowering in the vapour pressure of the solvent 'Y' is $____________ \(\times 10^{-2}\). (nearest integer)
[Given : $K_{b}$ of the solvent = 5.0 K kg mol$^{-1}$]
Assume the solution to be dilute and no association or dissociation of X takes place in solution.
