MCQ
If $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{\sin [x]}}{{[x] + 1}},\,\,{\rm{for}}\,\,x > 0\\\frac{{\cos \frac{\pi }{2}[x]}}{{[x]}},\,\,{\rm{for}}\,\,x < 0\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,k,\,\,{\rm{at}}\,x = 0\end{array} \right.$;   where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$, then in order that $f$ be continuous at $x = 0$, the value of $k$ is
  • Equal to $ 0$
  • B
    Equal to  $1$
  • C
    Equal to  $-1$
  • D
    Indeterminate

Answer

Correct option: A.
Equal to $ 0$
a
(a) If $f$  is continuous at $x = 0$, then

$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x) = f(0)$

$ \Rightarrow \,f(0) = \,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f(x)$

$k = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f(0 - h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\frac{{\cos \frac{\pi }{2}\,[0 - h]}}{{[0 - h]}}$

$k = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\frac{{\cos \frac{\pi }{2}\,[ - h]}}{{[ - h]}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\frac{{\cos \frac{\pi }{2}\,[ - h - 1]}}{{[ - h - 1]}}$

$k = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\frac{{\cos \,\left( { - \frac{\pi }{2}} \right)}}{{ - 1}}$;    $k = 0$.
