Given, ∫01f(λx)dλ=af(x) Let λx=u dλ=x1du ∴ From (1) x1∫0xf(u)du=af(x) ⇒∫0xf(u)du=axf(x) Differentiate both sides $\begin{aligned}
& f(x)=a\left(x f^{\prime}(x)+f(x)\right) \
& \Rightarrow \quad f(x)=a x f^{\prime}(x)+a f(x) \
& \Rightarrow \quad(1-a) f(x)=a x f^{\prime}(x) \
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}=\frac{(1-a)}{a} \cdot \frac{1}{x}
\end{aligned}Integratebothsidew.r.t.(x)\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad \int \frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)} d x=\frac{(1-a)}{a} \int \frac{1}{x} d x \
& \Rightarrow \ln f(x)=\left(\frac{1-a}{a}\right) \ln x+c
\end{aligned}Nowatx=1 f(1)=1\Rightarrow c=0Alsogivenf(16)=\frac{1}{8}\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \frac{1}{8}=(16)^{\frac{1-a}{a}} \
& \Rightarrow \quad 2^{-3}=2^{\frac{4-4 a}{a}} \
& \Rightarrow \quad-3=\frac{4-4 a}{a} \
& \Rightarrow-3 a=4-4 a \
& \Rightarrow a=4 \
& \therefore \quad f(x)=x^{-3 / 4} \
& f(x)=\frac{-3}{4} x^{-\frac{7}{4}}
\end{aligned}\begin{aligned} & \text { Put } x=\frac{1}{16} \ & f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)=\frac{-3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)^{-7 / 4}=\frac{-3}{4} \cdot 2^{-4 x\left(\frac{-7}{4}\right)}=-96 \ & \therefore \quad 16-f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{16}\right) \Rightarrow 16-(-96)=112\end{aligned}$
