at x = 1, y = 1
2e(y + 1) + e2y + e2 – e – ey = e2(y + 1)
ey + e = 0  y = – 1
Hence |A + B + C| = 3

y = f(x) – 2f(2x)
y(1) = f(1) – 2f(2) = 5 …(1)
And y(2) = f(2) – 2f(4) = 7 …(2)
Now let y = f(x) – f(4x)
y = f(x) – 4f(4x)
y(1) = f(1) – 4f(4) …(3)
Substituting the value of f(2) = 7 + 2 f(4) in (1)
f(1) – 2[7 + 2 f(4)] = 5
f(1) – 4f(4) = 19.

So, f(x) = max{|sin x|, |cos x|, 1/2} y=
