The correct answer is: 1
Let the even function be
$f(x)=\cos x$
On differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get
$f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x$
Again differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get
$f^{\prime \prime}(x)=-\cos x$
at $x=\pi$
$f^{\prime \prime}(\pi)=-\cos \pi=1$
$\therefore$ Our assumption is true.
at
$x=-\pi$
$f^{\prime \prime}(-\pi)=-\cos (-\pi)=1$
