MCQ
The function $\text{f{x}}\begin{cases}1,&|\text{x}|\geq1\\\frac{1}{\text{n}^2},&\frac{1}{\text{n}}<|\text{x}|<\frac{1}{\text{n}-1},\text{n}=2,3,...\end{cases}$
  • A
    Is discontinuous at finitely many points.
  • B
    Is continuous everywher.
  • Is discontinuous only at $\text{x}=\pm\frac{1}{\text{n}},\text{n }\in\text{ z}-\{0\}$ and x = 0
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Is discontinuous only at $\text{x}=\pm\frac{1}{\text{n}},\text{n }\in\text{ z}-\{0\}$ and x = 0
Given function is
$\text{f{x}}\begin{cases}1,&|\text{x}|\geq1\\\frac{1}{\text{n}^2},&\frac{1}{\text{n}}<|\text{x}|<\frac{1}{\text{n}-1},\text{n}=2,3,...\end{cases}$

Consider,

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}^-}\text{f(x)}=\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}^+}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}}1=1$

Hence, fnuction is discontinuous at $\text{x}=\pm\frac{1}{\text{n}},\text{n }\in\text{ z}-\{0\}$ and x = 0
