Q.

Let f:[2,4]R be a differentiable function such that (xlogex)f'(x)+(logex)f(x)+f(x)1, x[2,4] with f(2)=12 and f(4)=14.

Consider the following two statements:

(A) : f(x)1, for all x[2,4]

(B) : f(x)18, for all x[2,4]

Then,

1 Only statement (B) is true  
2 Neither statement (A) nor statement (B) is true  
3 Both the statements (A) and (B) are true  
4 Only statement (A) is true
