Q. Let $f(x)$ be a real valued continuous function satisfying $f^3(x)-5 f^2(x)+10 f(x)-12 \leq 0$ and $f^2(x)-7 f(x)+12 \leq 0$. A ray of light coming along the curve $y=f(x)$ from positive direction of $x$-axis and strikes the inner surface of mirror $y=2 \sqrt{3 x}$. If $l$ is the length of the reflected ray contained within the parabola $y^2=12 x$ then find the value of $12 l$.
