Oops, pretty stupid of me! The answer is choice A, of course.
I am the idiotic first poster. Solved the problem correctly, but marked the wrong choice. I guess this is how people lose marks in exams.

Guys and Girls : the answer is 27. this is from the practice test 1.
The correct answer is 27 and not 81, that many of you are answering as.

For f(m) = f(9)*f(6) , m = 27 is one solution
But here they are asking for f(m) not m.
Answer is A.

confusing ques..
if we want to find m here, answer is c coz f(27) = 81
otherwise the value of f(9)*f(6) is 81!!..A
Logically speaking, answer should be “A”!! and that is what i would have marked unless ques is changed a bit.

if we take the question to be correct;
the answer is A… No two ways about it!

i think ans is A
but i think as they use the contradiction
in f(m) and m so ans can be different
but i m unable to find the logic behind other ans ..
they should provide right ans

m is a positive integer >0. f(m) = 3m for every odd value of m, m=(1/2)m for every even value of m. f(9) * f(6) ???
=> {9*3} * {6*1/2}
= 27 *3
= 81.
Hence, answer is choice C.
