Sol. Period of y = 2sin
x is
=
& y = α (x – 1)(x – 2) + 1 which is a quadratic. So for given information (1, 1) is the common point to two curves and the possible graph would the

α can not be nagative α must be positive
for these twp graphs to touch each other at (1, 1)
(Which can be the only possible point of contact)
of both curves must be same.
y = 2sin
x ⇒

.cos

...(1)
y = α x 2 – 3 α x + 2 α + 1 ⇒
= 2 α x – 3 α
= 2 α –3 α = – α ....(2)
for (1) & (2) α =
⇒
