The correct answer is: 1

Given: f0=1,limxfx=1 

And f'xα·fx=3

dydxα·y=3

Which is a linear differential equation, so

I.F.=eαx

Solution of the differential equation is given by,

yeαx=3·eαxdx

fxeαx=3eαxα+c

fx=3α+c·eαx

Now, taking case I: when α>0 and limxfx=1 we get,

1=3α+c0

α=3 (rejected)

Case-II: α<0

as limxfx=1

 c=0 & 3α=1 as e--, so c=0

α=3

fx=1 and also  f0=1

Hence, fx=1 is constant function, so f-loge2=1
