    The left-hand derivative of \[f(x)=[x]\sin (\pi x)\]  at \[x=k,\,\,k\]is an integer and \[[x]\]= greatest integer \[\le x,\,\] is [IIT Screening 2001]

    A)            \[{{(-1)}^{k}}\,\,(k-1)\,\pi \]

    B)            \[{{(-1)}^{k-1}}(k-1)\,\pi \]

    C)            \[{{(-1)}^{k}}k\pi \]

    D)            \[{{(-1)}^{k-1}}k\,\pi \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[{f}'(k-0)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\text{lim}}}\,\frac{[k-h]\sin \pi (k-h)-[k]\sin \pi k}{-h}\]                                 \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\text{lim}}}\,\frac{{{(-1)}^{k-1}}(k-1)\sin \pi h-k\times 0}{-h}\]                                                               \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\text{lim}}}\,\frac{{{(-1)}^{k-1}}(k-1)\sin \pi h}{-h}\]\[={{(-1)}^{k}}.(k-1)\pi \].
