g(x) g(y) = g(x) + g(y) + g(xy) – 2 …....(1)

Put x = 1 in (1)

So g(1) g(1) = g(1) + g(1) + g(1) – 2

{g(1)}^2 – 3 g(1) + 2 = 0

i.e. g(1) = 1 or g(1) = 2

Put x = 1 & y = 2 in (1)

g(1) g(2) = g(1) + g(2) + g(2) – 2 i.e.

g(1) g(2) – g(1) – 2 g(2) + 2 = 0 …....(2)

It is given that g(2) = 5

If g(1) = 1, LHS of (2) = 1.5 – 1 – 2.5 + 2 = 4, RHS of (2) = 0

(2) is not satisfied when g(1) = 1.

But if g(1) = 2, LHS of (2) = 2.5 – 2 – 2.5 + 2 = 0 = RHS of (2)

So g(1) = 2 ….....(3)

Put x = x & y = 1/x in (1)

g(x) g(1/x) = g(x) + g(1/x) + g(1) – 2

So g(x) g(1/x) = g(x) + g(1/x) [g(1)=2 from (3)]

Hence, g(x) = x^n + 1. Since g(2) = 2^n +1 = 5, so n = 2

g(x) = x^2 + 1

Therefore, g(3) = 3^2 + 1 = 10

somu9135: But when u knew that u can get the answer from ask iitians. ..The why did u asked
neilpraneet42pdc30h: well I mostly get my questions unanswered and sometimes I don't find some solutions by askiitians
somu9135: ooo
neilpraneet42pdc30h: so I post it here for quick response
neilpraneet42pdc30h: I've got another one could u do it
somu9135: nope
somu9135: um. ...okk
