    The   function \[f(x)\] is   defined   as \[f(x)=\frac{2x-{{\sin }^{-1}}x}{2x+{{\tan }^{-1}}x'}\], if \[x\ne 0\]. The value to be assigned to f at \[x=0\]so that the function is continuous there, is

    A)  \[-\frac{1}{3}\]              

    B)  \[1\]

    C)  \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    D)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given,   \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{2x-si{{n}^{-1}}x}{2x+{{\tan }^{-1}}x}, & x\ne 0  \\    k\,(let), & x=0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] Since,  \[f(x)\] is continuous at \[x=0.\] \[\therefore \] \[\underset{x\to {{0}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=f(0)\] ?..(i) \[\underset{x\to {{0}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,f(0-h)\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{-2h-{{\sin }^{-1}}(-h)}{-2h+{{\tan }^{-1}}(-h)}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{-2+\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-{{h}^{^{2}}}}}}{-2-\frac{1}{1+{{h}^{2}}}}\] \[=\frac{-2+\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-0}}}{-2-\frac{1}{1+0}}\] \[=\frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}\] From Eq. (i),  \[f(0)=\frac{1}{3}\]
