Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Concept: Maxima using derivative.
Step 1: Differentiate: \[ f'(x)=6x^2-30x+36 \]
Step 2: Solve: \[ 6(x^2-5x+6)=0 ⇒ x=2,3 \]
Step 3: Second derivative: \[ f''(x)=12x-30 \]
Step 4: Check: \[ f''(2)<0 ⇒ max \]
Step 5: Value: \[ f(2)=? \]
