    The value of p for which the function\[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{{{({{4}^{x}}-1)}^{3}}}{\sin \frac{x}{p}\log \left[ 1+\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3} \right]},x\ne 0  \\    12{{(log\,4)}^{3}},x=0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\]may be continuous at \[x=0\], is

    A) 1

    B) 2

    C) 3

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] For \[f(x)\] to be continuous at \[x=0\], we should have \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=f(0)=12{{(\log \,\,4)}^{3}}\] \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{\left( \frac{{{4}^{x}}-1}{x} \right)}^{3}}\times \frac{\left( \frac{x}{p} \right)}{\left( \sin \frac{x}{p} \right)}\cdot \frac{p{{x}^{2}}}{\log \left( 1+\frac{1}{3}{{x}^{2}} \right)}\] \[={{(log\,4)}^{3}}\cdot 1\cdot p\cdot \underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( \frac{{{x}^{2}}}{\frac{1}{3}{{x}^{2}}-\frac{1}{18}{{x}^{4}}+...} \right)\] \[=3p{{(log\,\,4)}^{3}}\cdot \text{Hence}\,\,p=4\]
