The correct answer is: 4

Given fx+y=2fx·fy & f1=2

Now putting x=1 & y=1  in fx+y=2fx·fy we get

f1+1=2f1·f1=2×22=23

So f2=23, Similarly

f3=25, f4=27.....

Now

k=110fα+k=k=1102fα·fk=5123220-1

  2fαk=110fk=5123220-1 

  2fαf1+f2f10=5123220-1

  2fα2+23+25=5123220-1

2fα222101221=51232201

2×2fα×220-13=5123220-1

Now comparing both side we get

4fα=512fα=128

fα=27α=4.
