  1. $2$

  2. $-2$

  3. $-\dfrac {1}{2}$

  4. $\dfrac {1}{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
$g(f(x))=x$
$g'f(x)=1/f'(X)$
$g''f(x)=\dfrac{f''(x)}{{f'(x)}^3}$
$f(x)=1 at x=0$
$f(0)=1$
$f'(x)=3x^2+e^{(x/2)}/2$
$f'(0)=1/2$
$f''(x)=6x+e^{x/2}/4$
$f''(0)=1/4$
$g''(1)=\dfrac{-1/4}{1/8}=-2$
