JEE Main 8 April 2026, Shift 2, Maths Q18

Question 18 of 75 in this shift, Maths question 18 of 25, Section A.

Let f:(1,∞)→Rf : (1, \infty) \to \mathbf{R} be a function defined as f(x)=x−1x+1f(x) = \frac{x-1}{x+1}. Let fi+1(x)=f(fi(x))f^{i+1}(x) = f\left(f^{i}(x)\right), i=1,2,…,25i = 1, 2, \ldots, 25, where f1(x)=f(x)f^1(x) = f(x). If g(x)+f26(x)=0g(x) + f^{26}(x) = 0, x∈(1,∞)x \in (1, \infty), then the area of the region bounded by the curves y=g(x)y = g(x), 2y=2x−32y = 2x - 3, y=0y = 0 and x=4x = 4 is :
