The correct answer is: 17

Given: fx=x2+3x+a,x1bx+2,x>1

Now, for function to be continuous,

12+3×1+a=b×1+2

4+a=b+2

a-b=-2   ...i

Now, differentiating and putting the value of x,

 2x+3=b

21+3=b

b=5

a=3

-22fxdx=-21x2+3x+adx+12bx+2dx

-22fxdx=-21x2+3x+3dx+125x+2dx

-22fxdx=x33+3x22+3x-21+5x22+2x12

-22fxdx=13+32+3--83+6-6+5×42+2×2-52+2

-22fxdx=13+32+3+83+14-92

-22fxdx=152+14-92

-22fxdx=17
