Continuity exercise multiple choice question 1

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\frac{4-x^{2}}{4 x-x^{3}}$
Solution:
Since a function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=f(a) \\ &f(x)=\frac{4-x^{2}}{4 x-x^{3}} \\ &f(x)=\frac{4-x^{2}}{x\left(4-x^{2}\right)} \\ &f(x)=\frac{1}{x} \\ &\text { Where } x \neq 0, \pm 2 \end{aligned}$
f(x) is continuous for all real numbers except (0, $\pm$ 2).
Therefore, it is continuous exactly at three points (0, $\pm$ 2)
So, the correct option is (c)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 2

Answer:
The correct option is (a) and (b)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)\\ &\text { (ii) } \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}\right\}=f^{\prime}\left(a^{+}\right) \text {for right hand derivative }\\ &\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{f(a-h)-f(a)}{-h}\right\}=f^{\prime}\left(a^{-}\right) \text {for left hand derivative } \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)=|x-a| \phi(x)$
Solution:
Using formula (ii)
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}\right\} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{|h+a-a| \phi(a+h)-|a-a| \phi(a)}{h}\right\} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{h \phi(a+h)}{h}\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \phi(a+h)=\phi(a)=f^{\prime}\left(a^{+}\right)\; \; \; ....(i) \end{aligned}$
For Left Hand Derivative
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{f(a-h)-f(a)}{-h}\right\} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{|a-h-a| \phi(a-h)-|a-a| \phi(a)}{h}\right\} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{|-h| \phi(a-h)}{-h} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}-\phi(a-h) \end{aligned}$
Therefore

$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}-\phi(a-h)\\ &=-\phi(a)\\ &=f^{\prime}\left(a^{-}\right)\; \; \; \; \; \; .....(ii) \end{aligned}$
From (i) and (ii), we get
$f^{\prime}\left(a^{+}\right) \neq f^{\prime}\left(a^{-}\right)$
So, correct option is (a) and (b)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 3

Answer:
The correct option is (a) and (d)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)\\ &\text { (ii) } \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}\right\}=f^{\prime}\left(a^{+}\right) \text {for right hand derivative }\\ &\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{f(a-h)-f(a)}{-h}\right\}=f^{\prime}\left(a^{-}\right) \text {for left hand derivative } \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)=\left|\log _{10} x\right|$
Solution:
$f(x)=\left|\log _{10} x\right|$
$=\left|\frac{\log x}{\log _{e} 10}\right|=\left|\log _{\mathrm{e}} x \log _{10} e\right|$
Calculate right hand derivative
Using limit at x = 1
Apply limit at x = 1
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}\right\} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{\left|\log _{10} e \log (1+h)\right|-\left|\log _{10} e \log 1\right|}{h}\right\} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log _{10} e|\log (1+h)|}{h} \end{aligned}$
Therefore applying L-Hospital rule
$\begin{aligned} &=\log _{10} e \times 1 \\ &=f^{\prime}\left(1^{+}\right) \end{aligned}$
For left hand limit
$=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{f(1-h)-f(1)}{-h}\right\}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{\left|\log _{10} e \log (1-h)\right|-\left|\log _{10} e \log 1\right|}{-h}\right\} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{-\log _{10} e|\log (1-h)|}{h} \\ &-\log _{10} e=f^{\prime}\left(1^{-}\right) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { The function } f(x)=\left|\log _{10} x\right| \text { is continuous and in the right hand derivative }\\ &f^{\prime}\left(1^{-}\right)=-\log _{10} e \end{aligned}$
So the correct option is (a) and (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 4

Answer:
The correct option is (C)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)\\ &\text { (ii) } \lim _{x \rightarrow a}\left\{\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right\}=\frac{1}{m} \text { where } \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=1, \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=m\\ &\text { (iii) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1 \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} \frac{36^{x}-9^{x}-4^{x}+1}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{1+\cos x}} \\ k \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{aligned} , \quad &x \neq 0 \\ , \quad &x=0 \end{aligned}$
Solution:
Function f(x) is continuous at x = 0
To calculate the value of k, understand that function is continuous at x = 0
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{36^{x}-9^{x}-4^{x}+1}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{1+\cos x}}\right)=k \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\left(9^{x}-1\right)\left(4^{x}-1\right)}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{1+\cos x}}\right)=k \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\left(9^{x}-1\right)\left(4^{x}-1\right)}{\sqrt{2}\left[2 \sin ^{2}\left(\frac{x}{4}\right)\right]}\right)=k \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\left(9^{x}-1\right)\left(4^{x}-1\right)}{2 \sqrt{2} x^{2} \cdot \frac{\frac{\sin ^{2} x}{4}}{\frac{x^{2}}{16} \times 16}}\right)=k$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{\left(9^{x}-1\right)\left(4^{x}-1\right)}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{8} x^{2} \times \frac{\sin ^{2} x y}{\frac{x^{2}}{16}}}\right\}=k$
Using formula (ii) and (iii)
$\begin{aligned} &\left.\Rightarrow \frac{8 \ln 9 \ln 4}{\sqrt{2}}=k \quad \text { [understand that } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{a^{x}-1}{a^{x}}\right)=\ln a\right] \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{32 \ln 3 \ln 2}{\sqrt{2}}=k \\ &\Rightarrow k=16 \sqrt{2} \ln 2 \ln 3 \end{aligned}$
So correct option is (C)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 5

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
$\begin{aligned} &\text { (i) If } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x) \neq \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x) \text { then } f(x) \text { is discontinuous at } x=0 \text { . }\\ &\text { (ii)If } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=f(0) \text { then } f(x) \text { is continuous at } x=0 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { (iii) A function } f(x) \text { is said to be continuous at a point } x=a \text { of its domain, if }\\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a) \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lr} \frac{\left|x^{2}-x\right|}{x^{2}-x} \\ 1 & \\ -1 & \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{array}{r} , \quad x \neq 0,1 \\ , \quad x=0 \\ , \quad x=1 \end{array}$
Solution:
Simplify the given function
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lr} \frac{\left|x^{2}-x\right|}{x^{2}-x} \\ 1 & \\ -1 & \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{array}{r} , \quad x \neq 0,1 \\ , \quad x=0 \\ , \quad x=1 \end{array}$
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\left\{\begin{aligned} &1,\: x>1 \\ &1,\: x \leq 0 \\ &-1,\: 0 \leq x \leq 1 \end{aligned}\right. \\ &\text { Using RHL } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(h)=-1 \\ &\text { Using LHL } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(h)=1 \end{aligned}$
f(x) is discontinuous at x =0
Again, Using RHL,
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1+h)=1\\ \end{aligned}$
Using LHL,
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1-h)=-1 \end{aligned}$
f(x) is discontinuous at x = 1
Therefore,
f(x) is continuous for all except at x = 0 and x = 1
So, the correct option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 6

Answer:
The correct option is (C)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
$\text { (i) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1-x)}{x}=1 \text { and } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1$
(ii) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x=a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a) \\ &(\text { iii }) \lim _{x \rightarrow a}\{f(x) g(x)\}=1 m, \text { where } \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=1, \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=m \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} \frac{1-\sin x}{(\pi-2 x)^{2}} \frac{\log \sin x}{\left(\log \left(1+\pi^{2}-4 \pi x+4 x^{2}\right)\right)} \\ \\ k \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{aligned} , \quad &x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ , \quad &x=\frac{\pi}{2} \end{aligned}$
Solution:
Function f(x) is continuous at
$x = \frac{\pi }{2}$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
Using substitution method
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Substitute } \frac{\pi}{2}-x=t \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-t\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{1-\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-t\right)}{4 t^{2}} \frac{\log \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-t\right)}{\log \left(1+\pi^{2}-4 \pi\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-t\right)+4\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-t\right)^{2}\right.}\right\}=k$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{t \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(2 \sin ^{2} t / 2\right) \log \cos 1}{4 t^{2} \cdot \log \left(1+\pi^{2}-2 \pi^{2}+4 \pi t+\pi^{2}+4 t^{2}-4 \pi t\right)}=k$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \lim _{t \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 \sin ^{2} t / 2 \log \cos t}{4 t^{2} \log \left(1+4 t^{2}\right)}=k \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{t \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 \sin ^{2} t / 2 \log \sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} t}}{4 \times 4 \frac{t^{2}} {4}} \frac{1}{4 t^{2} \cdot \frac{\log (1+4 t^{2})}{4 t^{2}}}=k \quad\left[\because \cos ^{2} x=1-\sin ^{2} x\right] \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{t \rightarrow 0} \frac{2}{16}\left(\frac{\sin t / 2}{t / 2}\right)^{2} \cdot \frac{\frac{1}{2} \log (1-\sin 2 t)}{4 t^{2} \cdot \frac{\log \left(1+4 t^{2}\right)}{4 t^{2}}}=k$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{8} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin t / 2}{t / 2}\right)^{2} \cdot \frac{-\sin ^{2} f}{2} \cdot \frac{\log \left(1-\sin ^{2} t\right)}{4 t^{2}\left(\sin ^{2} t\right)} \times \frac{1}{\log \left(1+4 t^{2}\right)}=k$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{8} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin t / 2}{t / 2}\right)^{2} \cdot \frac{\sin ^{2} f}{8 t^{2}} \cdot \frac{\log (1-\sin 2 t)}{\left(-\sin ^{2} t-1\right)} \times \frac{1}{\frac{\log (1+4+2)}{4 t^{2}}}=k$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{1}{8 \times 8} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin t / 2}{t / 2}\right)^{2} \cdot \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin t}{t}\right)^{2} \cdot \lim _{t \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log \left(1-\sin ^{2} t\right)}{-\sin 2 t} \cdot \lim _{d \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\frac{\log \left(1+4 t^{2}\right)}{4 t^{2}}}=k$
Using formula (iii)
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{64} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{\sin ^{2} \frac{t}{2} \frac{\log \left(1-\sin ^{2} t\right)}{8 t^{2}}}{\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)^{2}} \frac{\log \left(1+4 t^{2}\right)}{4 t^{2}}\right\}=k$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{1}{64} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin t}{t}\right)^{2} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0} \log \frac{1-\sin ^{2} t}{-\sin ^{2} t}=k$ $\left[\because \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=4, \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+x)}{x}=1\right]$
Using standard limit formula (i)
$\Rightarrow k=-\frac{1}{64}$
So, option (c) is correct.

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 7

Answer:
The correct option is (C)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
$\text { (i) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1-x)}{x}=1 \text { and } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan x}{x}=1$
(ii) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a) \\ &(\text {iii}) \lim _{x \rightarrow a}\{f(x) g(x)\}=1 m, \text { where } \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=1, \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=m \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)=(x+1)^{\cot x}$
Solution:
$f(x)=(x+1)^{\cot x}$
taking log on both sides
$\log f(x)=(\cot x)(\log (x+1))$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \log f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\frac{\log (x+1)}{x}}{\frac{\tan x}{x}}\right)$
Using formula (iii)
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \log f(x)=\frac{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (x+1)}{x}}{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan x}{x}}$
Using standard limit formula (i)
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=e \\ &f(0)=e \end{aligned}$
So, the correct option is (C)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 8

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
$\text { (i) Standard limit } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+x)}{x}=1$
(ii) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a) \\ &(\text { iii }) \lim _{x \rightarrow a}\{f(x) \pm g(x)\}=1 \pm m, \text { where } \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=1, \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=m \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} \frac{\log (1+a x)-\log (1-b x)}{x} \\ k \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{aligned} , x & \neq 0 \\ , x &=0 \end{aligned}$
And f(x) is continuous at x = 0
Solution:
$\because$ f(x) is continuous at x = 0
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+a x)-\log (1-b x)}{x}=k$
Using formula (ii)
$\Rightarrow a \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+a x)}{a x}+b \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1-b x)}{-b x}=k$
Using formula (i)
$\Rightarrow a+b=k$
So, the correct option is (b)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 9

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} \frac{e^{1 / x}-1}{e^{1 / x}+1} \\ 0 \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{aligned} , x & \neq 0 \\ , x &=0 \end{aligned}$
Solution:
Using substitution method,
$\text { Let } e^{1 / x}=t \text { so, } x \rightarrow 0, t \rightarrow \infty$
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{t-1}{t+1}\right) \\ &=\frac{1-0}{1+0}=1 \quad \quad[L-\text { Hospital rule }] \end{aligned}$
And,
$\begin{aligned} &f(0)=0 \\ &\text { Therefore, } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) \neq f(0) \end{aligned}$
Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0
So, option (b) is correct.

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 10

Answer:

Hint:
Use the given formula:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} \frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+a \\ a+b \\ \frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+b \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{aligned} , \quad &x<4 \\ , \quad &x=4 \\ , \quad &x>4 \end{aligned}$
and f(x) is continuous at x = 4
Solution:
Using RHL at x = 4
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{+}} f(x) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(4+h) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{4+h-4}{|4+h-4|}+b\right) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{h}{|h|}+b\right) \\ &=1+b \end{aligned}$
Using LHL
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(4-h) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{4-h-4}{|4-h-4|}+a\right) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{-h}{|-h|}+a\right) \\ &=a-1 \end{aligned}$
f(x) will be continuous at x = 4, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{-}} f(x)=f(4) \\ &a-1=b+1=a+b \\ &b=-1 \text { and } a=1 \end{aligned}$
So, the correct option is (d)

$\begin{aligned} &\text { And } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} g(x)=0\\ &\text { (ii) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{\cos x-1}{x}\right\}=-1 \end{aligned}$
(iii) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:

And f(x) is continuous at x = 0
Solution:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0)$
Calculate the value of k
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}(\cos x)^{\frac{1}{x}}=k$
Using formula (i)
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)^{g(x)}=e \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{\cos x-1}{x}\right\}=k$
Apply formula (ii)
$\begin{aligned} &e^{0}=k \\ & k=1 \end{aligned}$
So, option (b) is correct.

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 13

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} \frac{x^{4}-5 x^{2}+4}{|(x-1)(x-2)|} \\ 6 \\ 12 \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{aligned} ,\: &x \neq 1,2 \\ ,\: &x=1 \\ ,\: &x=2 \end{aligned}$
Solution:
we write
$\begin{aligned} x^{4}-5 x^{2}+4 &=x^{4}-x^{2}-4 x^{2}+4=x^{2}\left(x^{2}-1\right)-4\left(x^{2}-1\right) \\ &=\left(x^{2}-4\right)\left(x^{2}-1\right) \\ &=(x+2)(x-2)(x+1)(x-1) \end{aligned}$
$\therefore$ we have
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{c} \frac{(x+2)(x-2)(x+1)(x-1)}{|(x-1)(x-2)|} \\ 6 \\ 12 \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{aligned} ,\: &x \neq 1,2 \\ ,\: &x=1 \\ ,\: &x=2 \end{aligned}$
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{c} \frac{x^{4}-5 x^{2}+4}{(x-1)(x-2)} \\ 6 \\ 12 \end{array}\right.$ $\begin{aligned} ,\: &x \neq 1,2 \\ ,\: &x=1 \\ ,\: &x=2 \end{aligned}$
$=\left\{\begin{array}{c} \int(x+1)(x+2), x<1 \\ -(x+1)(x+2), 1<x<2 \\ (x+1)(x+2), x>2 \\ 6, x=1 \\ 12, x=2 \end{array}\right.$
Using RHL at x = 1
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1+h) \\ &=-(2) \cdot(3)=-6 \end{aligned}$
Using LHL at x = 1
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1-h) \\ &=(2)(3)=6 \end{aligned}$
And using RHL at x = 2
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 2^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1+h)=12$
Using LHL at x = 2
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 2^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1-h)=-12$
f(x) is discontinuous at x=1 and x=2 for f(x) continuous at R[1, 2]
So, the correct option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 14

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:

Use the given formula:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)\\ &\text { (ii) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1 \end{aligned}$
Given:
f(x) is continuous at x = 0 and
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \frac{\sin (a+1) x+\sin x}{x} &, x<0 \\ C & , x=0 \\ \frac{\sqrt{x+b x^{2}}-\sqrt{x}}{b x \sqrt{x}} & , x>0 \end{array}\right.$
Solution:
Using RHL
$\begin{gathered} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0+h) \\ =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(h) \\ =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{h+b h^{2}}-\sqrt{h}}{b h \sqrt{h}} \end{gathered}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{h}(\sqrt{1+b h})-\sqrt{n}}{b h \sqrt{h}} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1+b n}-1}{b h} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1+b h}-1}{b h} \times \frac{\sqrt{1+b h}+1}{\sqrt{1+b h}+1} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(1+b h)-1}{b h(\sqrt{1+b h}+1)} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{b h}{b h(\sqrt{1+b h}+1)} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+b h}+1} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+6 \cdot 0}+1} \\ &=\frac{1}{1+1} \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}$
Using L.H.L
$\begin{aligned} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x) &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0-h) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(-h) \\ &=\lim _{n \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin (a+1)(-h)+\sin (-h)}{(-h)} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{-\sin (a+1) \cdot h-\sinh }{-h} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{-\frac{\sin (a+1) \cdot h}{-h}+\frac{\sin h}{h}\right\} \quad[\because \sin (-\theta)=-\sin \theta] \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{\sin (a+1)}{(a+1)} \times(a+1)+\frac{\sinh }{h}\right\} \\ &=(a+1) \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin (a+1)}{a+1}+\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin h}{n} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=(a+1) \cdot 1+1 \quad\left[: \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1\right] \\ &=a+1+1 \\ &=a+2 \end{aligned}$
Since function f(x) is continuous at x = 0
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x) \\ &=f(0) \\ &\Rightarrow a+2=\frac{1}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow a+2=\frac{1}{2} \\ &\text { or } c=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow a &=\frac{1}{2}-2 \\ &=-\frac{3}{2} \text { or } \\ c=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}\\ &\text { and from } f(x) \text { , }\\ &b \in \mathbb{R}-\{0\} \end{aligned}$
So, the correct option is (c).

Continuity exercise 5 multiple choice question 15

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
f(x) is continuous at x = 0 and
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} m x+1, x \leq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ \sin x+n, x>\frac{\pi}{2} \end{array}\right.$
Solution:
Using RHL $\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}+h\right) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left[\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+h\right)+n\right] \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(\cos h+n)=1+n \end{aligned}$

Using LHL

$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-h\right) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} m\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-h\right)+1=\frac{m \pi}{2}+1 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} &\text { Function } f(x) \text { is continuous at } x=\frac{\pi}{2}\\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{2}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)\\ &\frac{m \pi}{2}+1=n+1\\ &\frac{m \pi}{2}=n \end{aligned}$
So, option (c) is correct

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 16

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\frac{\sqrt{a^{2}-a x+x^{2}}-\sqrt{a^{2}+a x+x^{2}}}{\sqrt{a+x}-\sqrt{a-x}}$
Solution:
Using rationalization method,
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(a^{2}-a x+x^{2}\right)-\left(a^{2}+a x+x^{2}\right)}{(\sqrt{a+x}-\sqrt{a-x})\left(\sqrt{a^{2}-a x+x^{2}}+\sqrt{a^{2}+a x+x^{2}}\right)}$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-2 a x(\sqrt{a+x}+\sqrt{a-x})}{2 x\left(\sqrt{a^{2}-a x+x^{2}}+\sqrt{a^{2}+a x+x^{2}}\right)}$
$\left.\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-a(\sqrt{a+x}+\sqrt{a-x})}{\left(\sqrt{a^{2}-a x+x^{2}}+\sqrt{a^{2}+a x+x^{2}}\right.}\right)$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-2 a(\sqrt{a})}{2 a}=-\sqrt{a}$
Understand that, f(x) is continuous for all x, then it is continuous at x = 0
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=0 \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}-\sqrt{a}=f(0) \end{aligned}$
So, the correct option is (c)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 17

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} 1,|x| \geq 1 \\ \frac{1}{n^{2}}, \frac{1}{n}<|x|<\frac{1}{n-1}, n=2,3, \ldots \\ 0, x=0 \end{array}\right.$
Solution:
Step 1: Simplify the given function
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} 1,|x| \geq 1 \\ \frac{1}{n^{2}}, \frac{1}{n}<|x|<\frac{1}{n-1}, n=2,3, \ldots \\ 0, x=0 \end{array}\right.$
Case 2: Calculate the RHL
$\begin{gathered} \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{1}{n}^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{1}{n}+h\right) \\ =\left(\frac{1}{h}\right)^{2} \end{gathered}$
Case 3: Calculate the RHL
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{1}{n}^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f\left(\frac{1}{n}-h\right)=\left(\frac{1}{n-1}\right)^{2} \\ &\text { Therefore, } \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{1}{n}^{+}} f(x) \neq \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{1}{n}^{-}} f(x) \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (c)
Hence, f(x) is discontinuous only at
$x=\pm \frac{1}{n^{\prime}} n \in Z-\{0\} \text { and } x=0$

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 18

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\frac{(27-2 x)^{\frac{1}{3}}-3}{9-3(243+5 x)^{\frac{1}{5}}},(x \neq 0)$
Solution:
Step 1: Understand that, if f(x) to be continuous at x = 0 then,
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0)$
Therefore,
$=f(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(27-2 x)^{\frac{1}{3}}-3}{9-3(243+5 x)^{\frac{1}{5}}}$
$=f(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(27-2 x)^{\frac{1}{3}}-(27)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{3\left[3-(243+5 x)^{\frac{1}{5}}\right]}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(27-2 x)^{1 / 3}-(27)^{4 / 3}}{3\left\{(243)^{15}-(243+5 x)^{1 / 5}\right\}}$
$=\frac{1}{3} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x\left\{(27-2 x)^{1 / 3}-(27)^{4 / 3}\right\}}{\left.x(243)^{1 / 5}-(243+5 x)^{1 / 5}\right\}}$
$=\frac{1}{3} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{(27-2 x)^{1 / 3}-\left(2+1^{1 / 3}\right.}{x}}{\frac{(243)^{1 / 5}-(243+5 x)^{1 / 5}}{x}}$
$=\frac{2}{3} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{(27-2 x)^{1 / 3}-(27)^{1 / 3}}{5}}{5 \frac{(243+5 x)^{1 / 5}-(243)^{1 / 5}}{5 x}}$
$=\frac{2}{15} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{(27-2 x)^{1 / 3}-(27)^{1 / 3}}{27-2 x-27}}{\frac{(243+5 x)^{1 / 5}-(243)^{1 / 5}}{243+5 x-243}}$
$=f(0)=\frac{2}{15} \times \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times 27^{-\frac{2}{3}}}{\frac{1}{5} \times 243^{-\frac{4}{5}}}$
$=f(0)=\frac{2}{15} \times \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{27^{\frac{2}{3}}}}{\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{243^{\frac{4}{5}}}}$
$\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} &=\frac{2}{9} \frac{(243)^{\frac{4}{5}}}{(27)^{\frac{2}{3}}} \\ =& \frac{2}{9} \frac{\left(3^{5}\right)^{4 / 5}}{\left(3^{3}\right)^{2 / 3}} \\ \therefore f(0) &=\frac{2}{9} \times \frac{3^{4}}{3^{2}} \\ &=2 . \end{aligned}\\ &\text { Therefore, } f(0)=2 \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct option is (c)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 19

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
Use the given formula :
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a) \\ &\text { (ii) } \lim _{x \rightarrow a}\left\{\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right\}=\frac{1}{m}, \end{aligned}$
${\text { Where, }} \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=1, \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=m$
Given:
$f(x)=\frac{2-(256-7 x)^{\frac{1}{8}}}{(5 x+32)^{\frac{1}{5}}-2} \text { is continuous everywhere }$
Solution:
$f(x)=\frac{2-(256-7 x)^{\frac{1}{8}}}{(5 x+32)^{\frac{1}{5}}-2}$
Now,
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{2-(256-7 x)^{\frac{1}{8}}}{(5 x+32)^{\frac{1}{5}}-2}$
Using factorization method
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(256)^{1 / 8}-(256-7 x)^{1 / 8}}{(5 x+32)^{1 / 5}-(32)^{1 / 5}}=x(0)$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x}{x}\left\{\frac{(256)^{1 / 8}-(256-7 x)^{1 / 8}}{(5 x+32)^{1 / 5}-(32)^{1 / 5}}\right\}=f(0)$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{(256)^{1 / 8}-(256-7 x)^{1 / 8}}{x}}{\frac{(5 x+32)^{1 / 5}-(32)^{1 / 5}}{5}}=f(0)$
$\Rightarrow+\frac{7}{5} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{(256-7 x)^{1 / 8}-(256)^{1 / 8}}{-7 x}}{\frac{(5 x+32)^{1 / 5}-(32)^{1 / 5}}{5 x}}=f(0)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{7}{5} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{(256-7 x)^{1 / 8}-(256)^{1 / 8}}{256-7 x-256}}{\frac{(5 x+32)^{1 / 5-(32)^{1 / 5}}}{32+5 x-32}}=f(0)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{7 \frac{1}{8}(256)^{1 / 8-1}}{5} \frac{1}{\frac{1}{5}(32)^{1 / 5-1}}=f(0) \quad\left[\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{x^{n}-a^{4}}{x-a}=n a^{n-1}\right]$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{5}{1} \frac{(256)^{-7 / 8}}{(32)^{-4 / 5}}=f(0) \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{7}{8} \frac{(32)^{\frac{4}{5}}}{(256)^{-\frac{1}{8}}}=f(0) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow f(0) &=\frac{7}{8} \times \frac{\left.72^{5}\right)^{\frac{4}{5}}}{\left(2^{8}\right)^{\frac{7}{8}}} \\ &=\frac{7}{2^{3}} \times \frac{2^{4}}{2^{7}} \\ &=\frac{7}{2^{6}}=\frac{7}{64} \end{aligned}$
So the correct-option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 20

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{c} \frac{\sqrt{1+p x}-\sqrt{1-p x}}{x},-1 \leq x<0 \\ \frac{2 x+1}{x-2} \quad, 0 \leq x \leq 1 \end{array}\right.$
Step 1 : Rationalize the function
$\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0-h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(-h)$
$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1-p h}-\sqrt{1+p h}}{-h}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(\sqrt{1-p h}-\sqrt{1+p h}) \times(\sqrt{1-p h}+\sqrt{1+p h})}{(-h)(\sqrt{1-p h}+\sqrt{1+p h})} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{((-p h)-(1+p h)}{(-h) \sqrt{1-p h}+\sqrt{1+p^{n}}} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{-2 p h}{-n(\sqrt{1-p h}+\sqrt{1+p h})} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{+2 p}{\sqrt{1-p h}+\sqrt{1+p h}} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{2 p}{\sqrt{1}+\sqrt{1}} \\ &=\frac{2 p}{1+1} \\ &=\frac{2 p}{2} \\ &=p \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { And } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0+h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(h) \\ &=\lim _{n \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 h+1}{h-2} \\ &=\frac{2 \times 0+1}{0-2} \\ &=\frac{1}{-2} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { And } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0+h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(h) \\ &=\lim _{n \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 h+1}{h-2} \\ &=\frac{2 \times 0+1}{0-2} \\ &=\frac{1}{-2} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{-1}{2} \end{aligned}$
Also,
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\frac{2 \cdot 0+1}{0-2} \\ &=\frac{-1}{2} \end{aligned}$
From (i)
$\begin{aligned} &p=-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow p=\frac{-1}{2} \end{aligned}$
So, the correct option is (b)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 21

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:
If a function is continuous at x=2, then
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x)=f(a)$
Given:
The function f(x)
$=\left\{\begin{array}{l} x^{2} a, 0 \leq x<1 \\ a, 1 \leq x<\sqrt{2} \\ \frac{2 b^{2}-4 b}{x^{2}}, \sqrt{2 \leq x<\infty} \end{array}\right. \text { is continuous for } 0 \leq x<\infty$
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate f(x) is continuous for
$x = 1, \: \sqrt{2}$
Calculate for f(x) is continuous at x = 1
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1+} f(x)=f(1) \cdots(i) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1-h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(1-h)^{2}}{a} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(1+h^{2}-2 h\right)}{a} \cdot \quad\left[\because(\boldsymbol{a}-\boldsymbol{b})^{2}{=} \boldsymbol{a}^{2}+\boldsymbol{b}^{2}-\mathbf{2 a b}\right] \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{a} h^{2}-\frac{2 h}{a} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{a}+0-2 \frac{1}{a} \times 0 \\ &=\frac{3}{a} \end{aligned}$
f(a) = a
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1+n)=\lim _{n \rightarrow 0} a=a \\ &\text { from (i) } \Rightarrow \frac{1}{a}=a=a \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{1}{a}=a \\ &\Rightarrow a^{2}=1 \\ &\Rightarrow a=\pm 1 \end{aligned}$
Step 2: Calculate for f(x) is continuous at
$\begin{aligned} x=\sqrt{2} \end{aligned}$
Therefore,
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \sqrt{2}}-f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \sqrt{2}} f(x)=f(\sqrt{2})-\text { (ii) } \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow \sqrt{2}}-f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(\sqrt{2}-h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} a=a \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { and } \lim _{x \rightarrow \sqrt{2}+} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(\sqrt{2}+h) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 b^{2}-4 b}{(\sqrt{2}+h)^{2}} \\ &=\left(2 b^{2}-4 b\right) \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{(\sqrt{2}+4)^{2}} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\left(2 b^{2}-4 b\right) \cdot \frac{1}{(\sqrt{2}+0)^{2}} \\ &=\left(2 b^{2}-4 b\right) \cdot \frac{1}{(\sqrt{2})^{2}} \\ &=\frac{2 b^{2}-4 b}{2} \\ &\text { also, } f(\sqrt{2})=\frac{2 b^{2}-4 b}{(\sqrt{2})^{2}} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{2 b^{2}-4 b}{2} \end{aligned}$
from(ii), we have
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow a=\frac{2 b^{2}-4 b}{2} \\ &=\frac{2 b^{2}-4 b}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow a=\frac{2 b^{2}-4 b}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow 2 a-2 b^{2}+4 b=0 \\ &\Rightarrow b^{2}-a-2 b=0 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { When }-a=1 \text { then } \\ &\Rightarrow b^{2}-2 b-1=0 \\ &\Rightarrow b=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4-(-4)}}{2} \\ &=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4+4}}{2} \\ &=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{8}}{2} \\ &=1 \pm \sqrt{2} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Also, when } a=-1 \text { then }\\ &\Rightarrow b^{2}-2 b+1=0\\ &\Rightarrow b=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4-4}}{2}\\ &=\frac{2}{2}\\ &=1\\ &\text { Thus } \mathrm{a}=-1 \text { and } \mathrm{b}=1 \end{aligned}$
The correct option is (c)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 22

Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Hint:
$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f\left(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-h\right)$
Given:
$\begin{aligned} &\text { The function } f(x)=\frac{1-\sin x}{(\pi-2 x)^{2}}, \text { when } x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \text { and } f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\lambda, \text { then } f(x) \text { will be continuous function }\\ &\text { for } x=\frac{\pi}{2} \end{aligned}$
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate, f(x) is continuous for
$x=\frac{\pi }{2}$
Therefore,
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}(\pi-2 x)^{2}}=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Assume, }\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)=t \text { and substitute in equation }(i)\\ &\therefore \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{1-\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-t\right)}{(2 t)^{2}}\right]=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{1-\cos t}{4 t^{2}}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\ &\frac{1}{4} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{2 \sin ^{2}\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)}{t^{2}}\right]=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\ &\frac{1}{4} \lim _{i \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\frac{2}{4} \sin ^{2}\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)}{\frac{t^{2}}{4}}\right]=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \end{aligned}$
Simplify further,
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{8} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\sin ^{2}\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)}{\frac{t^{2}}{4}}\right]=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\ &=\frac{1}{8} \lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\sin \left(\frac{t}{2}\right)}{\frac{t}{2}}\right]^{2}=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \end{aligned}$
Apply formula (i) i.e
$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f\left(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-h\right)$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{8} \times(1)^{2}=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\ &=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{8} \\ &\therefore f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\lambda \\ &\therefore \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{1}{8} \end{aligned}$
Hence, the value of
$\begin{aligned} &\lambda \text { is }\frac{1}{8} \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (a)

Solution:
Step 1: Calculate, f(x) is continuous for x = 0
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\left(4^{x}-1\right)^{3}}{\sin \frac{x}{a} \log \left(1+\frac{x^{2}}{3}\right)}\right]=12(\log 4)^{3} \end{aligned}$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\frac{\left(4^{x}-1\right)^{3}}{x^{3}}}{\frac{\sin \frac{x}{a} \log \left(1+\frac{x^{2}}{3}\right)}{x^{3}}}\right]=12(\log 4)^{3}$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{a\left(\frac{4^{x}-1}{x}\right)^{3}}{\left(\frac{\sin \frac{x}{a}}{\frac{x}{a}}\right) \log \left(1+\frac{x^{2}}{3}\right)} x^{2}\right]=12(\log 4)^{3}$
$3 a \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\left(\frac{4^{x}-1}{x}\right)^{3}}{\left(\frac{\sin \frac{x}{a}}{\frac{x}{a}}\right) \frac{\log \left(1+\frac{x^{2}}{3}\right)}{\left(\frac{x^{2}}{3}\right)}}\right]=12(\log 4)^{3}$
$3 a\left[\frac{\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{4^{x}-1}{x}\right)^{3}}{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin \frac{x}{a}}{\frac{x}{a}}\right) \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log \left(1+\frac{x^{2}}{3}\right)}{\left(\frac{x^{2}}{3}\right)}}\right]=12(\log 4)^{3}$
Apply formula (i), formula (ii) and formula (iii)
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore 3 a(\log 4)^{3}=12(\log 4)^{3} \\ &a=4 \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (d)

$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\sin 3 x}{x}=f(0) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 3 \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin 3 x}{3 x}=\frac{k}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow 3.1=\frac{k}{2} \quad\left[\frac{\sin x}{x}=1 \therefore \frac{\sin 3 x}{3 x}=1\right] \end{aligned}$
Hence, k = 6
So, the correct option is (b)

$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x\left(2-\frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}\right)}{x\left(2+\frac{\tan ^{-1} x}{x}\right)}=f(0)$
Simplify further,
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{2-\frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}}{2+\frac{\tan ^{-1} x}{x}}=f(0)$
$\frac{2-\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}\right)}{2+\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\tan ^{-1} x}{x}\right)}=f(0)$
Apply formula (i) and formula (ii)
$\begin{aligned} &\frac{2-1}{2+1}=f(0) \\ &f(0)=\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (b)

Given:
The function

$\begin{aligned} &f(f(f(x)))=f\left(\frac{x-1}{1-\left(\frac{x-1}{x}\right)}\right) \\ &=x \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Step 3: Understand that } \therefore f \circ f \circ f: R-\{0,1\} \rightarrow R \\ &\text { Therefore, } f(f(f(x))) \text { is not defined at } x=0,1 \\ &\text { Hence, } f(f(f(x))) \text { is discontinuous at } \{0,1\} \\ &\text { The set of point discontinuous of the function } f(f(f(x))) \text { is }\{0,1\} \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (b)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 29

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
If a function f is continuous at x = a, then
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0+} f(x)=f(a)$
$\text { (i) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\tan x}{x}\right)=1$
Given:
The function
$f(x)=\frac{\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4} x\right)}{\cot 2 x}, x \neq \frac{\pi}{4}$
Step 1: Understand that, if f(x) is continuous a
$x=\frac{\pi }{4}$
Understand that, if
$\frac{\pi }{4}-x=y$
Therefore,
$x\rightarrow \frac{\pi }{4} \text { and }y\rightarrow 0$
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-x\right)}{\cot 2 x}=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ &\therefore \lim _{y \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\tan y}{\cot 2\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-y\right)}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \end{aligned}$
$\lim _{y \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\tan y}{\cot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-2 y\right)}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{y \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\tan y}{\tan 2 y}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ &\frac{1}{2} \lim _{y \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\frac{\tan y}{y}}{\frac{\tan 2 y}{2 y}}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \end{aligned}$
Apply formula (i)
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ &f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (b)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 30

Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Hint:
If a function f is continuous at x = a, then
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a+} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a-} f(x)=f(a)$
Given:
the function
$f(x)=\frac{x^{3}+x^{2}-16 x+20}{x-2}$
is not defined for x = 2. In order to make f(x) continuous at x = 2
Step 1: Take
$f(x)={x^{3}+x^{2}-16 x+20}$
and calculate further
$\therefore f(x)={x^{3}+x^{2}-16 x+20}$
$\begin{aligned} &=x^{2}(x-2)+3 x(x-2)-10(x-2)\\ \end{aligned}$
Simplify further,
$\begin{aligned} &=(x-2)(x-2)(x+5)\\ &=(x-2)^{2}(x+5) \end{aligned}$
Therefore, the function can be rewritten as
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore f(x)=\frac{(x-2)^{2}(x+5)}{(x-2)} \\ &f(x)=(x-2)(x+5) \end{aligned}$
Step 2: Understand that if f(x) is continuous at x = 2
Therefore,
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(x) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(x-2)(x+5)=f(x) \\ &f(2)=0 \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (a)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 31

Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Hint:
f(x) is continuous at x = 0
$(\text { LHL of } f(x) \text { at } x=0)=(\text { RHL of } f(x) \text { at } x=0)=f(0)$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=f(0)\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: .....(i)$
$\begin{aligned} \text { Now, }&\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x) \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} a \sin \frac{\pi}{2}(x+1) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} a \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2} x\right) \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} a \cos \frac{\pi x}{2}=a \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} &{\left[\therefore f(x)=a \sin \frac{\pi}{2}(x+1), \text { if } x \leq 0\right]} \\ &{[\cos 0={1}]} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \text { Again, }&\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x) \end{aligned}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan x-\sin x}{x^{3}} \quad\left[\because f(x)=\frac{\tan x-\sin x}{x^{3}} \text { if } x>0\right]$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}-\sin x}{x^{3}} \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x-\sin x \cos x}{\cos x \times x^{3}}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x(1-\cos x)}{\cos x \times x^{3}} \end{aligned}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\cos x} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \times \frac{2 \sin ^{2} \frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x^{2}}{4} \times 4} \quad\left[\because 1-\cos x=2 \sin ^{2} \frac{x}{2}\right]$
$=\frac{1}{1} \times 1 \times \frac{1}{2} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin \frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x}{2}}\right)^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\left[\lim _{\frac{x}{2} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x}{2}}\right]=\frac{1}{2} \times 1=\frac{1}{2}$
$\begin{gathered} \text { Also, } f(0)=a \sin \frac{\pi}{2}(0+1) \\ \qquad=a \sin \frac{\pi}{2}=a \end{gathered}$
Putting above values in (i) we get,
$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$
So, the correct option is (a)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 32

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)= \begin{cases}a x^{2}+b & , 0 \leq x<1 \\ 4 & , \quad x=1 \\ x+3 &, 1<x \leq 2\end{cases}$
Step 1: Understand that, f(x) is continuous at x = 1
Therefore,
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(1) \\ &\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1-h)=4 \\ &\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} a(1-h)^{2}+b=4 \end{aligned}$
Therefore, the possible values for (a, b) can be (2, 2), (3, 1), (4, 0) but (a,b) ≠ (5, 2)
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 33

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x)=f(a)$
(i) Standard limits
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1, \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\ln (1+x)}{x}=1$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \frac{\log (1+3 x)-\log (1-2 x)}{x} \quad, x \neq 0 \\ k \qquad \quad, x=0 \end{array} \right.$
Step 1: Understand that, if f(x) is continuous at x = 0
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+3 x)-\log (1-2 x)}{x}=k \end{aligned}$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{3 \log (1+3 x)}{3 x}-\frac{2 \log (1-2 x)}{2 x}=k$
Simplifying further,
$3 \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+3 x)}{3 x}+2 \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1-2 x)}{-2 x}=k$
Applying formula (i)
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore 3 \times 1+2 \times 1=k \\ &k=3+2 \\ &k=5 \end{aligned}$
So, correct option is (b)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 34

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 35

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=f(a) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a) \end{aligned}$
(ii) Standard limits
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1 \\ \end{aligned}$
Given:
$\begin{aligned} f(x)=\sin \frac{1}{x} \end{aligned}$
Solution:
$\begin{aligned} f(x)=\sin \frac{1}{x} \end{aligned}$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \sin \frac{1}{x}$
Function f(x) is continuous at x = 0
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \sin \frac{1}{x}=k \end{aligned}$
Value does not exist for fraction to be continuous.
So, the option (d) is correct.

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 37

Answer:
The correct option is (e)
Hint:
Use this definition of continuity to solve this problem. A function f(x) is said to be continuous at x=a
if
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x)=f(a)$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} (1+a x)^{1 / x} & , x<0 \\ b & , x=0 \\ \frac{(x+c)^{1 / 3}-1}{(x+1)^{1 / 2-1}} & , x>0 \end{array}\right.$
may be continuous at x = 0
Solution:
Now at x = 1
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} (1+a x)^{1 / x} & , x<0 \\ b & , x=0 \\ \frac{(x+c)^{1 / 3}-1}{(x+1)^{1 / 2-1}} & , x>0 \end{array}\right.$
To find the value of a, b and c we will use definition of continuous function
So we know if f(x) is continuous at x = 0 then we have,
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=f(0)-(1)$
Using equation (1) We have,
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=f(0) \Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0-h)=f(0)$
$\begin{aligned} &\left.\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\{1+a(-h)\}^{\frac{1}{h}}=f(0) \quad [\because f(x)=(1+a x)^{1 / x}, x<0\right] \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(1-a h)^{-\frac{1}{h}}=f(0)=b \quad[\because \boldsymbol{f}(\boldsymbol{x})=\boldsymbol{b}, \boldsymbol{x}=\mathbf{0}] \end{aligned}$
Taking log both sides, then
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \log (1-a b)^{-1 / n}=\log b \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}-\frac{1}{n} \log (1-a h)=\log b \quad\left[\because \log a^{m}=\boldsymbol{m l o g} a\right] \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{a \log (1-a h)}{-a h}=\log b \quad \text { [multiply and divide a on L.H.S] }$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow a \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log \{1+(-a b)\}}{(-a b)}=\log b\\ &\Rightarrow a \cdot 1=\log b &\left[\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+x)}{x}=1\right]\\ &\Rightarrow a=\log b \qquad - (2) \end{aligned}$
Again, using equation (1) we get,
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0+} f(x)=\{(0) \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0+h)=f(0) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\left.\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(n)=f^{\prime} (0) \right) \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{(h+c)^{1 / 3}-1}{(h+1)^{1 / 2}-1}\right)=f(0) \quad\left[\because \boldsymbol{f}(x)=\frac{(x+\boldsymbol{c})^{\mathbf{1} / 3}-4}{(\boldsymbol{x}+\mathbf{1})^{\mathbf{1} / 2}-\mathbf{1}}, x>\mathbf{0}\right] \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{(h+c)^{1 / 3}-1}{(n+1)^{1 / 2}-1} \times \frac{(n+1)^{1 / 2}+1}{(n+1)^{1 / 2}+1}\right)=\mathrm{b} \quad[\because f(x)=b, x=0]$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left((h+r)^{4} 3-1\right) \times\left((n+1)^{42}+1\right)}{\left((h+1)^{1 / 2}-1\right)\left((h+1)^{1 / 2}+1\right)}=b$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left((h+c)^{1 / 3}-1\right)\left((n+1)^{4 / 2}+1\right)}{\left((h+1)^{1 / 2}\right)^{2}-(1)^{2}}=\mathrm{b} \quad\left[\because(\boldsymbol{a}+\boldsymbol{b})(\boldsymbol{a}-\boldsymbol{b})=\boldsymbol{a}^{2}-\boldsymbol{b}^{2}\right]$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left((h+c)^{1 / 3}-1\right)\left((h+1)^{42}+1\right)}{h+1-1}=b \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left.\left((h+c)^{1 / 3}-1\right)(n+1)^{4 / 2}+1\right)}{h}=b \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left((h+c)^{1 / 3}-1\right)}{h} \times \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left((n+1)^{1 / 2}+1\right)=b \quad\left[\begin{array}{ll} \because \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x) \cdot g(x)= & \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x) \\ x \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x) \end{array}\right]$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{(h+c)^{1 / 3}-1^{4 / 3}}{h}\right) \times(0+1)^{1 / 2}+1=b \\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(h+c)^{1 / 3}-1^{1 / 3}}{(h+c)-c} \times 1^{1 / 2}+1=b \\ &\Rightarrow g \times 2=b \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { where } g \therefore=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(h+c)^{1 / 3}-1^{1 / 3}}{(h+c)-c}-(a) \\ &\Rightarrow g \cdots=\frac{6}{2} \quad-(3) \end{aligned}$
To find the value of g, we will use
$\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{x^{n}-a^{n}}{x-a}=n a^{n-\mathrm{L}}$
But this formula is applicable on g only if c=L
So we take c = L then we have,
$g=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(h+1)^{1 / 3}-1^{1 / 3}}{(h+1)-1}$ $\left[\because \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{x^{n}-a^{n}}{x-a}=n a^{n-1}\right]$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{3} \cdot 1^{1 / 3-1} \\ &=\frac{1}{3} 1^{-2 / 3}=\frac{1}{3} \cdot 1=\frac{1}{3} \\ &\therefore g=\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}$
Equation (3)
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}=\frac{b}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow b=\frac{2}{3} \end{aligned}$
Then equation 2 becomes,
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow a=\log \frac{2}{3} \\ &\therefore a=\frac{\log 2}{3}, b=\frac{2}{3}, c=1 \end{aligned}$

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 39

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=f(a) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a) \end{aligned}$
(ii) Standard limits
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1$
Given:
$f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{1-\sin ^{2} x}{3 \cos ^{2} x} &, x<\frac{\pi}{2} \\ a & , x=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ \frac{b(1-\sin x)}{(\pi-2 x)^{2}} &, x>\frac{\pi}{2}\end{cases}$
Solution:
$f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{1-\sin ^{2} x}{3 \cos ^{2} x} &, x<\frac{\pi}{2} \\ a & , x=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ \frac{b(1-\sin x)}{(\pi-2 x)^{2}} &, x>\frac{\pi}{2}\end{cases}$
So it is given that the function f(x) is continuous at
$x=\frac{\pi}{2}$
So, we have
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}}+f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-(1) \\ &\text { L.H.L at } x=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ &{\text { i.e }} \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(\frac{\pi}{2}-h) \end{aligned}$
$=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-\sin ^{2}(\pi / 2-h)}{3 \cos ^{2}(\pi / 2-h)} \quad\left[\therefore \boldsymbol{f}(x)=\frac{1-\sin ^{2} x}{3 \cos ^{2} x}, x<\pi / 2\right]$
$=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-\{\sin (\pi / 2-h)\}^{2}}{3\{\cos (\pi / 2-h)\}^{2}}$
$=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-(\cos h)^{2}}{3(\sin h)^{2}} \quad\left[\begin{array}{c} \because \sin (\pi / 2-\theta)=\cos \theta, \\ \cos (\pi / 2-\theta)=\sin \theta \end{array}\right]$

$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{n \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^{2} h}{3 \sin ^{2} h} \quad\left[\because \cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta=\perp \Rightarrow 1-\cos ^{2} \theta=\sin ^{2} \theta\right] \\ &=\frac{1}{3} \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 1=\frac{1}{3} . \quad {-(2)} \end{aligned}$

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 40

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=f(a) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)=f(a) \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)= \begin{cases}5 x-4 &, 0<x \leq 1 \\ 4 x^{2}+3 a x &, 1<x<2\end{cases}$
is continuous at every point of domain
Solution:
$f(x)= \begin{cases}5 x-4 &, 0<x \leq 1 \\ 4 x^{2}+3 a x &, 1<x<2\end{cases}$
At x = 1 f(x)=1
So,
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1-h) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} s(1-h)-4 \quad[\because {f}(x)=5 x-4 \text { when } x<1] \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 5-5 h-4\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 1-5 h\\ &=1-5 \times 0\\ &=1 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x) &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1+h) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{4(1+h)^{2}+3 a(1+n)\right\} &\left[\because {f}({x})=4 {x}^{2}+3 {a} x \text { when } x>\mathbf{1}\right] \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{4\left(1+h^{2}+2 b\right)+3 a+3 a h\right\} \quad\left[\because(\boldsymbol{a}+\boldsymbol{b})^{2}=\boldsymbol{a}^{2}+\boldsymbol{b}^{2}+2 \boldsymbol{a} \boldsymbol{b}\right] \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(4+4 h^{2}+8 h+3 a+3 a h\right) \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=4+4 \times 0^{2}+8 x 0+3 a+3 a \times 0 \\ &=4+0+0+3 a+0=4+3 a \quad-(2) \\ &\text { Also, } f(1)=5 \cdot 1-4 \\ &\quad=5-4 \\ &\qquad=1 \quad-(3) \quad[\because {f}(x)=5 x-4 \text { when } x=1] \end{aligned}$
It is given that the function f(x) is continuous at x=1
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x) &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x) \\ &=f(1) \\ \Rightarrow 1=4+3 a & \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=1 \quad \text { [using equation (1), (2) and (3) }\\ &\text { So, } \Rightarrow 4+3 a=1 \\ \Rightarrow 3 a &=1-4 \\ &=-3 \\ \Rightarrow a &=\quad \frac{-3}{3}=-1 \\ & \therefore a=-1 \end{aligned}$

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 42

Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=f(a) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(a+h)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(a-h)=f(a) \end{aligned}$
(ii) Standard limits
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1 \\ &(\text { iii }) \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\{f(x) \pm g(x)\}=1 \pm m, \\ &{\text { Where, }} \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=1, \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=m \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{(\sin (\cos x)-\cos x)}{(\pi-2 x)^{2}} &, x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ k & , x<\frac{\pi}{2}\end{cases}$
Solution:
$f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{(\sin (\cos x)-\cos x)}{(\pi-2 x)^{2}} &, x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ k & , x<\frac{\pi}{2} \end{cases} \qquad -(1)$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { At } x=\frac{\pi}{2}\\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\\ &\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 2} \frac{\sin (\cos x)-\cos x)}{(\pi-2 x)^{2}}=k &\text { [using 1] } \end{aligned}$
Let
$\begin{aligned} &\pi-2 x=2 y\\ &\Rightarrow y=\frac{\pi-2 x}{2}\\ &\Rightarrow y=\frac{\pi}{2}-x\\ &\text { Since, when } x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} \text { then } y \rightarrow 0 \text {. } \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin (\cos x)-\cos x}{(2 y)^{2}}=k \quad[\because \pi-2 x=y]$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \{\cos (\pi / 2-y)\}-\cos (\pi / 2-y)}{4 y^{2}}=k \quad\left[\because y=\frac{\pi}{2}-x \Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{2}-y\right]$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin (\sin y)-\sin y}{4 y^{2}}=k \quad\left[\because \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)=\sin \theta\right]$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 \sin \left(\frac{\sin y-y}{2}\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\sin y+y}{2}\right)}{4 y^{2}}=k \quad\left[\because \sin c-\sin D=2 \sin \left(\frac{C-D}{2}\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{c+D}{2}\right)\right]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(\frac{\sin y-y}{2}\right) \cdot \sin \left(\frac{\sin y-y}{2}\right)}{y^{2} \cdot\left(\frac{\sin y-y}{2}\right)} \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\sin y+y}{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \lim _{y \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\frac{\sin y-y}{2}}{y}\right) \cdot\left\{\frac{\sin \left(\frac{\sin y-y}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{\sin y-y}{2}\right)} \mid \cdot\left\{\frac{\cos \left(\frac{\sin y+y}{2}\right)}{y}\right\}=k\right.$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin y-y}{2 y} \times \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \left(\frac{\sin y-y}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{\sin y-y}{2}\right)} \times \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos \left(\frac{\sin y+y}{2}\right)}{y}=k$
$\left[\because \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x) \cdot g(x) \cdot h(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x) \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x) \lim _{x \rightarrow a} h(x)\right]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}(1-1) \times 1 \times \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos \left(\frac{\sin y+y}{2}\right)}{y}=k \quad\left[\because \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1\right]$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} \times 0 \times 1 \times \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos \left(\frac{\sin y+y}{2}\right)}{y^{\circ}}=R \\ &\Rightarrow 0=k \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore k=0 \end{aligned}$
So, the correct option is (a)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 43

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
use this to get
$\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$
Given:
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=2 x \\ &g(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{2}+1 \end{aligned}$
For the discontinuous function
$\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} \rightarrow g(x) \neq 0$
If g(x) = 0, then it is a discontinuous function
So, the correct option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 44

Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Given:
We have
$f(x)=\cot x=\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}$
Now, f(x) is discontinuous when sinx = 0 we know that
$\sin x=0 \text { at } x=n \pi, n \in \mathbb{Z}$
f(x) = cot x is discontinuous on the set
$\{x: x=n \pi: n \in \mathbb{Z}\}$
So, the correct option is (a)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 45

Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Given:
The given function f is
$f(x)=x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}, \text { where } x \neq 0$
It is evident that f is defined at all points of the real line.
let C be a real number.
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Case } 1 \text { : If } c \neq 0 \text {, then } f(c)=c^{2} \sin \frac{1}{c}\\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow c} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow c}\left(x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right)=\left(\lim _{x \rightarrow c} x^{2}\right)\left(\lim _{x \rightarrow c} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right)=c^{2} \sin \frac{1}{c} \end{aligned}$
$\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow c} f(x)=f(c)$
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x≠0
Case 2: If c=0, then f(0)=0
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}\left(x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}\left(x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right)=c^{2} \sin \frac{1}{c}$
It is known that
$\begin{aligned} &-1 \leq \sin \frac{1}{x} \leq 1, x \neq 0 \\ &=-x^{2} \leq \sin \frac{1}{x} \leq x^{2} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(-x^{2}\right) \leq \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right) \leq \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} x^{2} \\ &=0 \leq \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right) \leq 0 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right)=0 \\ &\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=0 \end{aligned}$
Similarly,
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}\left(x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}\left(x^{2} \sin \frac{1}{x}\right)=0$
$\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=f(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)$
There fore f is continuous at x = 0
So, the correct option is (a)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 46

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
$f(x)=\frac{1}{x-[x]}$
The greatest integer function becomes discontinuous at every integer value of x. So, the whole function will become discontinuous at each integer value of x.
It has infinite number of points of discontinuity.
So, the correct option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 47

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
The function f(x) = [x] is continuous for all x except all integral values of x
Hence, it is continuous at x = 1.5, which is not an integer
So, the correct option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 48

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
Standard limit:
$\begin{aligned} (i) \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1 \\ (ii) \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \cos x=1 \end{aligned}$
Given:
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} \frac{\sin x}{x}+\cos x &, \text { if } x \neq 0 \\ k & , \text { if } x=0 \end{array}\right.$
f(x) is continuous at x = 0.
So, $\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0) \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin x}{x}+\cos x\right)=k \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}+\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \cos x=k \\ &=1+1=k \\ &=k=2 \end{aligned}$
