MCQ
If $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{ax}^2+\text{b},&0\leq\text{x}<1\\4,&\text{x}=1\\\text{x}+3,&1<\text{x}\leq2\end{cases}$ then the value of (a, b) for which f(x) cannot be continuous at x = 1, is:
  • A
    (2, 2)
  • B
    (3, 1)
  • C
    (4, 0)
  • (5, 2)

Answer

Correct option: D.
(5, 2)
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1^-}\text{f(x)}=\text{f}(1)$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\text{ax}^2+\text{b}=4$

a + b = 4

We have possible values as (2, 2), (3, 1), (4, 0)

But can not be (5, 2).

Function is can not be continuous at (5, 2).
