The correct answer is: 160

Given,

x2fx-x=40xt ft dt

Now Differentiating both side w.r.t. x we get,

x2f'x+2xfx-1=4x fx

x2f'x-1=2x fx

dydx-2xy=1x2 Let y=fxdydx=f'x

Which is a linear differential equation,

So,  I.F =e-2xdx=e-2lnx=1x2

Now solution of the differential equation is given by,

yx2=1x4dx+C

yx2=-13x3+C

Now given, f1=23

So, 23=-13+C

C=1

Hence, the function will be,

fx=-13x+x2

So, the required value is given by,

18 f3=18-19+9=160
