Let $f, g:[-1,2] \rightarrow R$ be continuous functions which are twice differentiable on the interval $(-1,2)$. Let the values of $f$ and $g$ at the points $-1, 0$ and $2$ be as given in the following table:
$x$ $x=-1, 0, 2$
$f(x)$ $3, 6, 0$
$g(x)$ $0, 1, -1$

In each of the intervals $(-1,0)$ and $(0,2)$ the function $(f-3g)^{\prime \prime}$ never vanishes. Then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ $f^{\prime}(x)-3g^{\prime}(x)=0$ has exactly three solutions in $(-1,0) \cup (0,2)$
$(B)$ $f^{\prime}(x)-3g^{\prime}(x)=0$ has exactly one solution in $(-1,0)$
$(C)$ $f^{\prime}(x)-3g^{\prime}(x)=0$ has exactly one solution in $(0,2)$
$(D)$ $f^{\prime}(x)-3g^{\prime}(x)=0$ has exactly two solutions in $(-1,0)$ and exactly two solutions in $(0,2)$
