    Let \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{align}   & \frac{1+\cos x}{{{(\pi /x)}^{2}}}.\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x}{\log (1+{{\pi }^{2}}-2\pi x+{{x}^{2}})},x\ne \pi  \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,k\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,x=\pi  \\ \end{align} \right..\] If f (x) is continuous function at \[x=\pi ,\]then k is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]                                  

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{-1}{2}\]                                

    D)  \[-\frac{1}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Idea If f(x) is continuous at x = a, then \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{x\to {{a}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=f(a)\] The given function is \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{1+\cos x}{{{(\pi -x)}^{2}}}.\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x}{\log (1+{{\pi }^{2}}-2\pi x+{{x}^{2}})}, & x\ne \pi   \\    k & ,x=\pi   \\ \end{matrix} \right\}\]Since, f(x) is continuous at \[x=\pi \] \[\therefore \]  \[\underset{x\to \pi }{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=f(\pi )\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(\pi -h)=k\Rightarrow \underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1+\cos (\pi -h)}{{{(\pi -\pi +h)}^{2}}}.\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}(\pi -h)}{\log {{[1+{{\pi }^{2}}-2\pi (\pi -h)+(\pi -h)]}^{2}}}=k\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1-\cos \,h}{{{\pi }^{2}}}\times \frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\,h}{\log (1+{{h}^{2}})}=k\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{2}{{\left( \frac{\sin \,h/2}{h/2} \right)}^{2}}.\frac{{{h}^{2}}\,}{\log \,(1+{{h}^{2}})}.{{\left( \frac{\sin \,h}{h} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{2}=k\] TEST Edge   Continuity   over   an interval discontinuity related questions are asked. To solve such types of questions, students are advised to understand the concept of continuity.
