Answer

It is given that the function is continuous at $\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore\ \text{LHL}=\text{RHL}=\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)\ ...(\text{i})$
Now, $\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)=\text{a}$
$\text{LHL}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi^-}{2}}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{h}\Big)$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{1-\sin^3\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{h}\Big)}{3\cos^2\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{h}\Big)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{1-\cos^3\text{h}}{3\sin^2\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{(1-\cos\text{h})(1+\cos^2\text{h}+\cos\text{h})}{3\sin^2\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{2\sin^2\frac{\text{h}}{2}(1+\cos^2\text{h}+\cos\text{h})}{3\sin^2\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{2\Bigg(\frac{\sin\frac{\text{h}}{2}}{\frac{\text{h}}{2}}\Bigg)^2\times\frac{\text{h}^2}{4}\times(1+\cos^2\text{h}+\cos\text{h})}{3\Big(\frac{\sin\text{h}}{\text{h}}\Big)^2\times\text{ h}^2}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{2\times\frac{1}{4}(1+\cos^2\text{h}+\cos\text{h})}{3}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\text{RHL}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi^-}{2}}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}+\text{h}\Big)$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{b}\Big(1-\sin\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}+\text{h}\Big)\Big)}{\Big(\pi-2\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}+\text{h}\Big)\Big)^2}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{b}(1-\cos\text{h})}{(\pi-\pi-2\text{h})^2}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{b }\times\ 2\sin^2\frac{\text{h}}{2}}{(2\text{h})^2}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{b}}{2}\Bigg(\frac{\sin\frac{\text{h}}{2}}{\frac{\text{h}}{2}}\Bigg)^2\times\frac{1}{4}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{b}}{8}=\frac{\text{b}}{8}$
Thus, using (i) we get,
$\text{a}=\frac{1}{2}$
And $\frac{\text{b}}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=4$
Thus, $\text{a}=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\text{b}=4$
