JEE MainMathematicsLimits Continuity and DifferentiabilityMCQ+4 / −1
If for , the function is continuous at , then :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Given function
with , , and is continuous at .
For continuity at , the limit as must exist and be finite, and equal to .
- Check numerator and denominator at
As ,
- Numerator
- Denominator
So for the quotient to have a finite limit, the numerator must also vanish at :
Raise both sides to power :
Since ,
So continuity forces
- Now compute using the limit
Substitute :
At , this is , so use L'Hospital's Rule.
Let
Then
Differentiate:
At :
Since ,
Hence
Also,
Now , so
Thus
Therefore,
So
- Test the options
Also recall , so .
Option A
False.
Option B
True.
Option C
False.
Option D
False.
- Conclusion
The correct option is:
This matches the stored correct answer.
