    \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{\sin 3x}{\sin x}, & x\ne 0  \\    k, & x=0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\]is continuous, if\[k\]is

    A) \[3\]                                     

    B) \[0\]

    C) \[-3\]                                    

    D) \[-1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: For function \[f(x)\] to be continuous at\[x=a\]                       \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{x\to {{a}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)\] Given,\[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{\sin 3x}{\sin x}, & x\ne 0  \\    k, & x=0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] \[\therefore \]For continuity                 \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=k\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin 3x}{\sin x}=k\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin 3x}{3x}\cdot \frac{3x}{\sin x}=k\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3=k\] \[\therefore \]Value of\[k=3\].
