Suppose f ( x ) is a rational function such that 3 f ( x 1 ) + x 2 f ( x ) = x 2 for x = 0 . Then f ( − 2 ) = A . Find ⌊ 1 0 0 A ⌋ , where ⌊ ⋅ ⌋ denotes the floor function .

. We're sorry about the hassle.
Nice solution, did it the exact same way! +1!
Nice and Shorter than mine.
3 f ( − 2 ) + ( 2 − 1 ) 2 f ( 2 − 1 ) = 4 1
⟹ 3 f ( − 2 ) − 4 f ( 2 − 1 ) = 4 1 . . . . . . . . . . ( 1 )
3 f ( 2 − 1 ) + − 2 2 f ( − 2 ) = 4
⟹ 3 f ( 2 − 1 ) − f ( − 2 ) = 4 . . . . . . . . . . ( 2 )
By Solving both the equations ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) for f ( − 2 ) , We get
f ( − 2 ) = 2 0 6 7 = A
2 0 6 7 × 1 0 0 = 6 7 × 5 = 3 3 5
Thanks @Hung Woei Neoh for correcting my mistake.
Typo: 3 f ( − 2 1 ) + − 2 2 f ( − 2 ) = 4

Every time I miss something or the other in my solution. Need to be accurate from next time.
And You are the one who will notify me every time.
Thanks!
Nice solution & nice colouring! +1!
EXCELLENT ....I have done by tha same way :)
Exact same method!!
Let x = − 2 , then:
3 f ( − 2 1 ) + 2 − 2 f ( − 2 ) = ( − 2 ) 2 ⟹ 3 f ( − 2 1 ) − f ( − 2 ) = 4
Let x = − 2 1 , then:
3 f ( − 2 ) + 2 − 2 1 f ( − 2 1 ) = ( − 2 1 ) 2 ⟹ 3 f ( − 2 ) − 4 f ( − 2 1 ) = 4 1
Solving the above pair of equations, we have f ( − 2 ) = 2 0 6 7 . Now ⌊ 1 0 0 A ⌋ = ⌊ 1 0 0 × 2 0 6 7 ⌋ = ⌊ 3 3 5 ⌋ = 3 3 5

Replace x by x 1 . 3 f ( x ) + 2 x f ( x 1 ) = x 2 1 Now substitute value of f ( x 1 ) from given eqn and rearrange for f ( x ) to get:
f ( x ) = 5 x 2 3 − 2 x 5
∴ 1 0 0 f ( − 2 ) = 1 0 0 ( 2 0 6 7 ) = 3 3 5
