Q30: If a continuous function f(x) does not have a root in the interval [a, b], then which one of the following statements is TRUE? (SET-1 (2015))

(b) f(a)⋅f(b) < 0
(c) f(a)⋅f(b) > 0
(d) f(a)/f(b) ≤ 0
Ans: (c)
Sol: Intermediate value theorem states that if a function is continious and f(a)⋅f(b) < 0, then surely there is a root in (a, b). The contrapositive of this theorem is that if a function is continious and has no root in (a, b) then surely f(a)⋅f(b) ≥ 0. But since it is given that there is no root in the closed interval [a, b] it means f(a)⋅f(b) ≠ 0.
So surely f(a)⋅f(b) > 0 which is choise(C).
