Given,
and are of opposite signs.
Let and .
It is given that has extremum at .
Therefore, and are two distinct real roots of .
But we know that between two distinct real roots of a polynomial, there is at least one real root of its derivative.
Therefore, has three distinct real roots and (say) such that .
Thus, first option is correct.
If has exactly one positive root, then it is evident from the figure that and .
Therefore,
[ lies between and ]
Thus, second option is also correct.
If has exactly one negative real root, then from the figure, we have and .
[ lies between and ]
Thus, third option is also correct.
