If x=1 is a critical point of the function f(x)=(3x²+ax-2-a)eˣ, then
Option 1 -
x=1 is a local minima and x=-2/3
Option 2 -
x=1 and x=-2/3 are local minima of f.
Option 3 -
x=1 is a local maxima and x=-2/3 is a local minima of f.
Option 4 -
x=1 and x=-2/3 are local maxima of f.

Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:f(x) = (3x²+ax-2-a)e?
f'(x) = (3x²+ax-2-a)e? + e?(6x+a)
= e?(3x²+(a+6)x-2)
∴ x=1 is a critical point
∴ f'(1)=0
∴ 3+a+6-2=0
a = -7
∴ f'(x) = e?(3x²-x-2)
= e?(3x+2)(x-1)
∴ maxima at x = -2/3
∴ minima at x = 1
