JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Limits, Continuity and Differentiability Question Bank Mock Test - Continuity and Differentiability

  • question_answer
    The function \[f(x)\] defined by\[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    {{\log }_{(4x-3)}}({{x}^{2}}-2x+5),\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{3}{4}<x<1\,\,\text{and}\,\,x>1  \\    4,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x=1  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\]

    A) is continuous at x=1

    B) is discontinuous at x=1 since \[f({{1}^{+}})\]does not exist though \[f({{1}^{-}})\]exists

    C) is discontinuous at x=1 since \[f({{1}^{-}})\]does not exist thought \[f({{1}^{+}})\]exists

    D) is discontinuous at x=1 since neither \[f({{1}^{+}})\]nor \[f({{1}^{-}})\]exists.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] We have \[\underset{x\to {{1}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(1-h)\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log (4+{{h}^{2}})}{\log (1-4h)}=-\infty \] And \[\underset{x\to {{1}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(1+h)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log (4+{{h}^{2}})}{\log (1+4h)}=\infty \]So, \[f({{1}^{-}})\]and \[f({{1}^{+}})\]do not exist.
