The correct answer is: -65

Given:- fx=ax3+bx2-185x+1910 ....1

 f'x=3ax2+2bx-185  ...2

Also, given that fx has maximum value 10 at x=-3

 f'-3=3a-32+2b-3-185=0

 27a-6b=185 . ...3

Also, fx has minimum value at x=2

 f'2=0

 3a22+2b2-185=0

 12a+4b=185... 4

equation 3×2 + equation 4×3, we get

54a+36a=365+545

 a=15

Substituting a=15 in 4, we get

125+4b=185

 4b=65

 b=310

 fx becomes,

 fx=15x3+310x2-185x+1910

Now,  f1=15+310-185+1910

 f1=-65

Hence, option 2 is correct.
