1)for +ve x

p(x) = f(x)/x

p'(x) = {xf'(x) - f(x)}/ x2

[f(x) - f(0)]/x = f'(x1)

f(x)/x < f'(x) as f''(x)>0 so f(x) is increasing

or f(x)/x2<f'(x)/x

which gives p(x) >0 for +ve x

the actual problem was to prove this only..I was the stupid person who created those options (effect of JEE weather ,i must say:D)

u gave options and all used those options to answer rather than sending solution[3][3]
