MCQ
Let $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\frac{{x - 4}}{{|x - 4|}} + a,\;x < 4\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,a + b,\,x = 4\\\frac{{x - 4}}{{|x - 4|}} + b,\,x > 4\end{array} \right.$. Then $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 4$ when
  • A
    $a = 0,\;b = 0$
  • B
    $a = 1,\;b = 1$
  • C
    $a = - 1,\;b = 1$
  • $a = 1,\;b = - 1$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$a = 1,\;b = - 1$
d
(d) $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 4 - } f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f(4 - h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{4 - h - 4}}{{|4 - h - 4|}} + a$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} - \frac{h}{h} + a = a - 1.$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 4 + } f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,f(4 + h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\frac{{4 + h - 4}}{{|4 + h - 4|}} + b = b + 1$

and $f(4) = a + b$

Since $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 4$

Therefore $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 4 - } f(x) = f(4) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 4 + } f(x)$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,a - 1 = a + b = b + 1\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,b = - 1$ and $a = 1.$
