1.Relation and Function
hard
Let $\mathrm{f}: N \rightarrow N$ be a function such that $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n})=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{m})+\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{n})$ for every $\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{n} \in N$. If $\mathrm{f}(6)=18$ then $\mathrm{f}(2) \cdot \mathrm{f}(3)$ is equal to :
A
$6$
B
$54$
C
$18$
D
$36$
(JEE MAIN-2021)
Solution
$f(\mathrm{~m}+\mathrm{n})=f(\mathrm{~m})+f(\mathrm{n})$
$\text { Put } \mathrm{m}=1, \mathrm{n}=1$
$f(2)=2 f(1)$
$\text { Put } \mathrm{m}=2, \mathrm{n}=1$
$f(3)=f(2)+f(1)=3 f(1)$
$\text { Put } \mathrm{m}=3, \mathrm{n}=3$
$f(6)=2 f(3) \Rightarrow f(3)=9$
$\Rightarrow f(1)=3, f(2)=6$
$f(2) \cdot f(3)=6 \times 9=54$
