    If\[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{\sin x}{x}+\cos x, & \text{when}\,\text{x}\ne \text{0}  \\    2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,, & \text{when}\,x=0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\]

    A)  \[\underset{x\to {{0}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)\ne 2\]

    B)                   \[\underset{x\to {{0}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=0\]

    C)                   \[f(x)\]is continuous at \[x=0\]

    D)                   none of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have,\[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{\sin x}{x}+\cos x, & x\ne 0  \\    2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,, & x=0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] \[LHL=\underset{x\to {{0}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin x}{x}+\cos x\]                 \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin (0-h)}{0-h}+\cos (0-h)\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin \,h}{h}+\cos \,h\] \[=1+1=2\] \[RHL=\underset{x\to {{0}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin x}{x}+\cos x\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin (0+h)}{h}+\cos (0+h)\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin \,h}{h}+\cos h\] \[=1+1=2\] \[\therefore \]  \[LHL=RHL=f(0)=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f(x)\] is continuous at \[x=0\]
