Option: 2

10


Option: 3

5


Option: 4

infinite

As \mathrm{f(x)}  is continuous in \mathrm{[1,3], f(x)} will attain all values between \mathrm{f(1)} and \mathrm{f(3)}. As \mathrm{f(x)} takes rational values for all \mathrm{x} and there are innumerable irrational values between \mathrm{f(1)} and \mathrm{f(3)}, \mathrm{f(x)} can take rational values for all \mathrm{x} if \mathrm{f(x)} has a constant rational value at all points between \mathrm{x=1} and \mathrm{x=3}. So, \mathrm{f(2)=f(1.5)=10.}
