Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

f (x) = x? /20 - x? /12 + 5
f' (x) = x? /4 - x³/3 = x³ (x/4 - 1/3)
Local maxima at 0, Local minima at 4/3
f' (x) = x³ - x² = x² (x-1)
x = 1 point of inflection

y = x3

d y d x = 3 x 2 d y d x | ( t , t 3 ) = 3 t 2

Equation of tangent y – t3 = 3t2 (x – t) 

Let again meet the curve at Q ( t 1 , t 1 3 )

t 1 3 t 3 = 3 t 2 ( t 1 t )

t 1 2 + t t 1 + t 2 = 3 t 2 [ ? t 1 t ]

t 1 2 + t t 1 2 t 2 = 0

=> t1 = -2t

Required ordinate = 2 t 3 + t 1 3 3 = 2 t 3 8 t 3 3 = 2 t 3
