  • question_answer
    Suppose                                                                                                   \[f(x)\]  is differentiable at                                                                                                   \[x=1\]  and                                                         \[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{h}f(1+h)=5\] , then                                                                                                   \[f'(1)\]  equals [AIEEE 2005]

    A)            5

    B)            6

    C)            3

    D)            4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                                                                 \[f'(1)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h};\] As function is differentiable so it is continous as it is given that                                                          \[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(1+h)}{h}=5\]  and hence                                                                                                 \[f(1)=0\] . Hence                                                     \[f'(1)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(1+h)}{h}=5\] .
