is a continuous function then the value of $k$ is

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $1$
  • $3$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$3$
c
Since $f(x)$ is a continuous function therefore

lime it of $x \to 0 = $ value of $f(x)$ at $0$.

$\therefore \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{{{\left( {{e^x} - 1} \right)}^2}}}{{\sin \left( {\frac{x}{k}} \right)\log \left( {1 + \frac{x}{4}} \right)}}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{{x^2}{{\left( {\frac{{{e^x} - 1}}{x}} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{x}{R}\left[ {\frac{{\sin \left( {\frac{x}{R}} \right)}}{{\frac{x}{R}}}} \right]\log \frac{{\left( {1 + \frac{x}{4}} \right)}}{{\left( {\frac{x}{4}} \right)}}}} \times \left( {\frac{x}{4}} \right)$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{{x^2}{{\left( {\frac{{{e^x} - 1}}{x}} \right)}^2}4k}}{{\frac{{\sin \frac{x}{k}}}{{\frac{x}{k}}}.\frac{{\log \left( {1 + \frac{x}{4}} \right)}}{{\frac{x}{4}}}}}$

on applying limit we get 

$4k = 12 \Rightarrow k = 3$
