JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
If f(0)=1f\left(0\right) = 1, f(2)=3f\left(2\right) = 3, f(2)=5f'\left(2\right) = 5 then the value of the definite integral 01xf(2x)dx\displaystyle\int_0^1x\,f''\left(2x\right)dx is
Solution
Answer: 2
Step 1: Integrating by parts with
u=x,dv=f(2x)dxu = x ,\qquad dv = f''\left(2x\right)dx
the inner factor 22 has to be compensated when antidifferentiating:
v=f(2x)2,sinceddx[f(2x)2]=f(2x)v = \frac{f'\left(2x\right)}{2},\qquad\text{since}\qquad \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{f'\left(2x\right)}{2}\right] = f''\left(2x\right)
Step 2:
01xf(2x)dx=[xf(2x)2]0101f(2x)2dx\int_0^1x\,f''\left(2x\right)dx = \left[\frac{x\,f'\left(2x\right)}{2}\right]_0^1-\int_0^1\frac{f'\left(2x\right)}{2}\,dx
Halving again,
f(2x)2dx=f(2x)4\int\frac{f'\left(2x\right)}{2}dx = \frac{f\left(2x\right)}{4}
so
01xf(2x)dx=[xf(2x)2f(2x)4]01\int_0^1x\,f''\left(2x\right)dx = \left[\frac{x\,f'\left(2x\right)}{2}-\frac{f\left(2x\right)}{4}\right]_0^1
Step 3: At the upper limit,
1f(2)2f(2)4=5234\frac{1\cdot f'\left(2\right)}{2}-\frac{f\left(2\right)}{4} = \frac52-\frac34
Step 4: At the lower limit,
0f(0)2f(0)4=014=14\frac{0\cdot f'\left(0\right)}{2}-\frac{f\left(0\right)}{4} = 0-\frac14 = -\frac14
f(0)f'\left(0\right) is multiplied by x=0x = 0, so its value is never needed, which is why the question does not give it. Step 5:
(5234)(14)=5234+14=5212=2\left(\frac52-\frac34\right)-\left(-\frac14\right) = \frac52-\frac34+\frac14 = \frac52-\frac12 = 2
Answer: 22
