⇒ f ′ ( x ) = 6sin 2 x cos x − 6sin x cos x + 12 cos x ⇒ f ′ ( x ) = 6 ( sin 2 x − sin x + 2 ) cos x
Since discriminant of the quadratic sin 2 x − sin x + 2 in sin x is negative,

∴ sin 2 x − sin x + 2 is positive for all x ∈ R

So, Statement-2 is not generally true.

function, f ′ ( x ) > 0
∴ 6 ( x 2 − 3x + 2 ) > 0 ⇒ x < 1 and x > 2
∴ f ( x ) is increasing outside the interval (1, 2 ) , therefore it is true statement.

Now, f ′ ( x ) < 0 ⇒ 6 ( x − 2 )( x − 1) < 0 ⇒ 1 < x < 2
∴ Statement-1 and Statement-2 are both true, but Statement-2 is not the correct reason.

The correct statement 2 does not prove the assertion.
151. Ans. (c), Statement 1 is true. Since, if h ( x ) = f ( x ) g ( x ) then h′ ( x ) = f ( x ) g ′ ( x ) + f ′ ( x ) g ( x ) > 0
Since, f ( x ) , g ( x ) , f ′ ( x ) , g ′ ( x ) are all positive.

152. Ans. (d), Statement 2 is true Since f ( x + π ) = f ( x ) ⇒ f ( x ) cannot be strictly increasing.
Statement 2 is false. Since, x 2 is non periodic in ( −∞, ∞ ) and is non monotonic as well.
