Correct answer: C

  1. We are given: f(2)=4,f′(2)=4f(2)=4, \qquad f'(2)=4f(2)=4,f′(2)=4 (The statement f′(x)=4f'(x)=4f′(x)=4 is understood here as the derivative at the required point x=2x=2x=2 for evaluating the limit.)

  2. Evaluate the limit: L=lim⁡x→2xf(2)−2f(x)x−2L=\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{x f(2)-2f(x)}{x-2}L=limx→2​x−2xf(2)−2f(x)​

  3. Substitute f(2)=4f(2)=4f(2)=4: L=lim⁡x→24x−2f(x)x−2L=\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{4x-2f(x)}{x-2}L=limx→2​x−24x−2f(x)​

  4. Rewrite the numerator in a useful form: 4x−2f(x)=2(2x−f(x))4x-2f(x)=2\big(2x-f(x)\big)4x−2f(x)=2(2x−f(x)) So, L=2lim⁡x→22x−f(x)x−2L=2\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{2x-f(x)}{x-2}L=2limx→2​x−22x−f(x)​

  5. Now split: 2x−f(x)=(2x−4)−(f(x)−f(2))2x-f(x)=\big(2x-4\big)-\big(f(x)-f(2)\big)2x−f(x)=(2x−4)−(f(x)−f(2)) since f(2)=4f(2)=4f(2)=4.

    Therefore, L=2lim⁡x→2(2x−4)−(f(x)−f(2))x−2L=2\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{(2x-4)-(f(x)-f(2))}{x-2}L=2limx→2​x−2(2x−4)−(f(x)−f(2))​

  6. Separate the limit: L=2[lim⁡x→22x−4x−2−lim⁡x→2f(x)−f(2)x−2]L=2\left[\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{2x-4}{x-2}-\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{f(x)-f(2)}{x-2}\right]L=2[limx→2​x−22x−4​−limx→2​x−2f(x)−f(2)​]

  7. Compute each part: lim⁡x→22x−4x−2=lim⁡x→22(x−2)x−2=2\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{2x-4}{x-2}=\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{2(x-2)}{x-2}=2limx→2​x−22x−4​=limx→2​x−22(x−2)​=2 and by definition of derivative, lim⁡x→2f(x)−f(2)x−2=f′(2)=4\lim_{x\to 2}\frac{f(x)-f(2)}{x-2}=f'(2)=4limx→2​x−2f(x)−f(2)​=f′(2)=4

  8. Hence, L=2(2−4)=2(−2)=−4L=2(2-4)=2(-2)=-4L=2(2−4)=2(−2)=−4

  9. So the correct option is: C: −4\boxed{\text{C: }-4}C: −4​
