The correct answer is: 6

Given,

fx=x33+2bx+ax22 and gx=x33+ax+bx2

Now differentiating the above function we get,

f'x=x2+2b+ax

g'x=x2+a+2bx

Now given, f'(x)=0 and g'(x)=0 have a common extreme point,

So, x2+2b+ax=x2+a+2bx

2b-a-x2b-a=0

   x=1 is the common extreme point

Put x=1 in f'x=0 or g'x=0 we get,

1+2b+a=0

a+2b+7=6
