MCQ
Let the function $f$ be defined by the equation $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}3x\;\;\;\;\;\;{\rm{if}}\;0 \le x \le 1\\5 - 3x\;\;{\rm{if}}\;{\rm{1}} < x \le 2\end{array} \right.,$ then
  • A
    $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f(x) = f(1)$
  • B
    $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f(x) = 3$
  • C
    $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f(x) = 2$
  • $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f(x)$ does not exist

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f(x)$ does not exist
d
(d) $L.H.L.$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1 - 0} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,(1 - h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,3(1 - h)$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,(3 - 3h) = 3 - 3\,.\,0 = 3$

$R.H.L.$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1 + 0} f(x) = \mathop {\lim \,\,}\limits_{h \to 0} \,f\,(1 + h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,[5 - 3(1 + h)]$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,(2 - 3h) = 2 - 3\,.\,0 = 2$

Hence $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} \,\,f(x)$ does not exist.
