Question
A function $f(x)$ is defined as $f(x) =\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}  {{x^m}\,\sin \,\tfrac{1}{x}}&{x\,\, \ne \,\,0\,,\,\,\,m\,\, \in \,\,N} \\   0&{if\,\,\,\,\,x\,\, = \,\,0} \end{array}} \right. $ . The least value of $m$ for which $f ‘ (x)$ is continuous at $x = 0$ is

Answer

c
$f ‘ (0+) =\mathop {Lim}\limits_{h \to 0} \,\frac{{{h^m}\sin \frac{1}{x}}}{h}$

must exist  $\Rightarrow m > 1$ 
for $m > 1 h ‘ (x) =\left[ \begin{gathered}   \hfill \\   \hfill \\ \end{gathered}  \right.$$\begin{gathered}  m\,{x^{m - 1}}\sin \frac{1}{x} - {x^{m - 2}}\cos \frac{1}{x}\,\,x \ne 0 \hfill \\   \hfill \\  \,\,0\,\,\,\,if\,\,x = 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ 
now $\mathop {Lim}\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,h(x) = \mathop {Lim}\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,m\,{h^{m - 1}}\sin \frac{1}{h} - {h^{m - 2}}\cos \frac{1}{h}$ 
limit exist if $m > 2$ 
$\therefore$ $m \in N$ $\Rightarrow m = 3$
