The correct answer is: 125

Given, fx=a-10axa-1ax2axa

fx=a1-10xa-1x2axa

=a1a2+ax+1ax+x2

fx=ax+a2

Now differentiating the function w.r.t x

We get, f'x=2ax+a

Given, 2f'10-f'5+100=0

2×2a10+a-2a5+a+100=0

40a+4a2-10a-2a2+100=0

2a2+30a+100=0

a2+15a+50=0

a+10a+5=0

a=-10 or a=-5

Required =-102+-52=125
