differentiate wrt x then we will get 

df(x+ y/2)=df(x).............(1)

differentiate the question wrt to y

df(x+ y/2)*(1/2) =(1/2)df(y)

divide the two equations

we get df(y)=df(x)*2=k,......................(3)

   kis a constant

integrate with and find f(x)

f(x)=kx/2

given f''(x)=-1=k/2

so the value of k is known ......hence function is known     ....find the value of f(2)
