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:

  $x=-1$ $x=0$ $x=2$
$f(x)$ $3$ $6$ $0$
$g(x)$ $0$ $1$ $-1$

In each of the intervals $(-1,0)$ and $(0,2)$ the function $(f-3 g)^{\prime \prime}$ never vanishes. Then the correct statement(s) is(are)

$(A)$ $f^{\prime}(x)-3 g^{\prime}(x)=0$ has exactly three solutions in $(-1,0) \cup(0,2)$

$(B)$ $f^{\prime}(x)-3 g^{\prime}(x)=0$ has exactly one solution in $(-1,0)$

$(C)$ $f^{\prime}(x)-3 g^{\prime}(x)=0$ has exactly one solution in $(0,2)$

$(D)$ $f^{\prime}(x)-3 g^{\prime}(x)=0$ has exactly two solutions in $(-1,0)$ and exactly two solutions in $(0,2)$
