The correct answer is: Both II and III are true

Given function f:RR be a continuous function such that fx2=fx3xR 



then fx=fx23  [on replacing x byx1/3]



Similarly,



fx=fx23=fx4/9=fx827==fx23n



=fx0 [as x tends to infinity] =f1 



 fx=f1=constant



The function fx=constant is even and differentiable everywhere.
