      (a) (-infinity, infinity)
      (b) (0, infinity)
      (c) (1, infinity)
      (d) (4, infinity)

        Answer:
        Given: a(x) = 3x+1 , b(x) = (x-4)^1/2

        (b o a)(x) = b(a(x))
        = b(3x+1)
        = ((3x+1)-4)^1/2
        = (3x-3)^1/2
        = 3(x-1)^1/2

        So, the domain of x should be greater than equal to 1
        i.e. x belongs to (1,infinity)

        Therefore the correct answer is (c).
