MCQ
Let $\alpha \in R$ be such that the function

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \frac{\cos ^{-1}\left(1-\{x\}^{2}\right) \sin ^{-1}(1-\{x\})}{\{x\}-\{x\}^{3}}, & x \neq 0 \\ \alpha, & x=0 \end{array}\right.$

is continuous at $x=0,$ where $\{x\}=x-[x],[x]$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $X$.

Then :

  • A
    $\alpha=\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\alpha=0$
  • no such $\alpha$ exists
  • D
    $\alpha=\frac{\pi}{4}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
no such $\alpha$ exists
c
$\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=f(0)=\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}(x)$

$\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\cos ^{-1}\left(1-x^{2}\right) \cdot \sin ^{-1}(1-x)}{x(1-x)(1+x)}$

$\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\cos ^{-1}\left(1-x^{2}\right)}{x \cdot 1 \cdot 1} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}$

Let $1-x^{2}=\cos \theta$

$\frac{\pi}{2} \operatorname{Lim}_{ x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\theta}{\sqrt{1-\cos \theta}}$

$\frac{\pi}{2} \operatorname{Lim}_{\theta \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\theta}{\sqrt{2} \sin \frac{\theta}{2}}=\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{2}}$

Now, $\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\cos ^{-1}\left(1-(1+x)^{2}\right) \sin ^{-1}(-x)}{(1+x)-(1+x)^{3}}$

$\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\left(-\sin ^{-1} x\right)}{(1+x)(2+x)(-x)}$

$\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}}{1 \cdot 2} \cdot \frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow RHL \neq LHL$

Function can't be continuous

$\Rightarrow$ No value of $\alpha$ exist
