The correct answer is: 3

Given,

Functional equation fx+y=fx+fy-1

Now taking x=0 & y=0 in above equation we get,

f0+0=f0+f0-1f0=1

Now we know that,

f'x=limh0fx+h-fxh

f'x=limh0fx+fh-1-fxh

f'x=limh0fh-1h

Now let limh0fh-1h=k

So, the equation becomes f'x=k

Now putting x=0 in above equation we get,

f'0=kk=2 as given f'0=2

So, f'x=2

Now integrate both side we get,

fx=2x+c

Now again taking x=0 we get,

f0=2×0+cc=1 as f0=1

So, fx=2x+1

And f-2=2×-2+1f-2=-3

Hence, f-2=3
