MCQ
If $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}x,\;\;{\rm{if\, }}x\,{\rm{ \,is \,rational\, }}\\ - x,\;{\rm{if \,\,}}x\,{\rm{\, is\, irrational\,}}\end{array} \right.,$ then $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x)$ is
  • $ 0$
  • B
    $ 1$
  • C
    $ -1$
  • D
    Indeterminate

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ 0$
a
(a) $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f(0 - h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f(0 - h) = 0$

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

$\therefore \,\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\,f(x) = 0$,    $\left( {\because \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x)} \right)$ .
