The correct answer is:
5

Ans. 5

Sol. f ′ (x) = 5x 4 – 20x 3 + 15x 2 = 5x 2 (x – 1) (x – 3)

for maximum & minimum

f ′ (x) = 0 ⇒ x = 0, 1, 3

f ″ (x) = 20x 3 – 60x 2 + 30x = 10x (2x 2 – 6x + 3)

f ″ (0) = 0 Neither point of minimum n or maximum

f ″ (1) = – 10 point of maximum

f ″ (3) = 90 point of minimum

∴ λ = 1 & m = 3

2 λ + m = 5
