The correct answer is: 22

Let, fx=ax3+bx2+cx+d

Diff w. r. t.  'x'

f'x=3ax2+2bx+c

Again diff. w. r. t.  'x'

f"x=6ax+2b

f"-1=0

-6a+2b=0

b=3a

f'1=0

3a+6a+c=0

c=-9a

f1=-10 

-5a+d=-10      i

f(-1)=6 

11a+d=6       ii

From equations i-ii

We get a=1, d=-5, b=3, c=-9

Then, fx=x3+3x2-9x-5

Hence,  f3=27+27-27-5

f3=22
