    If \[f(2)=4\], \[f'(2)=1\]then \[\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{xf(2)-2f(x)}{x-2}=\] [RPET 1995, 2000]

    A)            1

    B)            2

    C)            3

    D)             ?2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Given \[f(2)=4,\ \ f'(2)=1\]            \[\therefore \underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{xf(2)-2f(x)}{x-2}=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{xf(2)-2f(2)+2f(2)-2f(x)}{x-2}\]                                   \[=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{(x-2)f(2)}{x-2}-\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2f(x)-2f(2)}{x-2}\]            \[=f(2)-2\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(x)-f(2)}{x-2}=f(2)-2f'(2)=4-2(1)=4-2=2\]            Aliter: Applying L-Hospital rule, we get  \[\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(2)-2f'(2)}{1}=2\]
