If is a point on a diameter of the circle
, then
has
exactly two real root in ( -2, -1]
exactly two real root in [2, 5]
distinct roots greater than 1
equal roots less than -1
Since is a point on the diameter of the circle
So maximum value of is 4.
Let clearly
So graph of will be as shown
Hence (C) is the correct answer.
