A-1.
By checking limits
(i) im f(x) = does not exist since L.H.L.  R.H.L. (ii) im f(x) = 3
x 1 x 2

(iii) im f(x) = 3 (iv) im f(x) = 3 (v) im f(x) = 3


x 3 x 1.99 x  3

A-2. (i) im (x + sin x) = 2 + sin 2 (ii) im tan x – 2x = tan 3 – 8


x 2 x 3

(iii) im sgn [tan x]

L.H.L. = im– sgn [tan x] = im sgn [tan ( – h)] = im sgn (– ve) = –1


x  h 0 h 0

R.H.L. = im– sgn [tan x] = im sgn [tan ( + h)] = im sgn (+ ve) = 0


x  h 0 h 0

L.H.L.  R.H.L.
so limit does not exist
(iv) im sin–1(n x) = sin–1 im

A-4. (i) If f(x) =   im f(x) exist if L.H.L. = R.H.L.
2x  3 , x  1 x 1

R.H.L. = im f(x) = im (2x – 3) = im [2(1 + h) – 3] = – 1


x 1 x 1 h 0

L.H.L. = im– f(x) = im– (x + 1) = 2


x 1 x 1

L.H.L. R.H.L.
so limit does not exist at x = 1
(ii) im f(x) exist if R.H.L. = L.H.L.
x 1

so im (2x – 3) = im– (x + )  2 – 3 = 1 +   = – 2

Putting y = x in equation (1), we get

f(2x) + f(0) = 2(f(x))2 ....(2)

Putting y = – x in equation (1), we get

f(0) + f(2x) = 2f(x). f(– x) ....(3)

(3) – (2)

 2(f(x))2 = 2f(x)f(– x)

 f(x) = 0 or f(x) = f(–x)

x2 f(x) + f(1 – x) = 2x – x4  x2 (ax2 + bx + c) + a (1 – x)2 + b (1 – x) + c = 2x – x4

1. Consider the graph of 2 cos x in (–, ). 2 cos x is integer at 9 points.

[2 cos x] is discontinuous at 7 points in (–, )

Similarly from graph of 2sinx, we can observe that [2 sin x] is discontinuous at 7 points

(continuous at –/2, )

[2 tan x/2] is discontinuous at 4 points (continuous at –/2)

[3 cosec x/3] is discontinuous at 4 points (continuous at /2)

y = [2 cos x] y = [2 sin x]

y = [2 tan x/2] y = [3 cosec x/3]

20. f(x) = [n + psinx],x  (0, ) graph of y = n + p sinx

obviously
f(x) = [n +psinx] is discontinous at points mark in above curve

21. Given g(x) = g(x) cannot be define where f(x) = 0
f(x)

 if f(x) is onto, g(x) may or may not be onto


same argument can be given for continuity and differentiability of g(x) if f(x) is one-one
 for x1x2 f(x1)f(x2)

g(x1)g(x2)

 g(x) is also one-one

h(x) = f(x) – g(x) Assume a<b
h(a) =  – g(a) > 0
h(b) = f(b) –  < 0
else if a > b h(a) < 0 and h(b) > 0.
By intermediate value theorem  h(c) = 0 .....(1)

(f(c) – g(c)) (f(c) + g(c) + 3) = 0


So there exist a 'c' : f(c) – g(c)

Hence A is correct.
(D) Similarly (f(c)) 2 = (g(c)) 2
(f(c) – g(c)) (f(c) + g(c)) = 0
 (D) is correct.

If f(x) = g(x) =   0, then
B  2 +  = 2 + 3 is not possible.
C  2 + 3 = 2 +  is not possible.

17. f (x) = |x – |. (e|x| –1) sin |x| According to given options we have to check only at x = 0 and 

LHD = lim = lim = RHD = lim =0
h 0 –h h 0 –h h 0 h
 diff. at x = 0
Now at x = 
f() = 0
f(  – h) – f( ) k.(e –h – 1).sinh
LHD = lim = lim =0
h 0 –h h 0 h
f(   h) – f( ) –h(eh – 1)sinh
RHD = lim = lim =0

36. Given f(x + y3) = f(x) + [f(y)]3 and f ’(0) > 0
putting x = y = 0, we get f(0) = f(0) + (f(0))3  f(0) = 0

or L = L3 or L = 0 , 1, –1 as f(0) > 0  f(0) = 0, 1

Thus f ’(x) = limit

f ’(x) = limit  f ’(x) = 0 , 1
h0 (h1/ 3 )3
Integrating both sides, we get f(x) = 0 or f(x) = x + c
As f(0) = 0 , we have f(x) = 0 or f(x) = x
Now f(x) = 0 is imposible as f(x) is not identically zero
 f(x) = x and f(10) = 10

40. Notice that f(f(x)) – f(x) = x and if f(x) = f(y) then clearly x = y. This means that the function is injective.
Since f(f(0)) = f(0) + 0 = f(0), because of injectivity we must have f(0) = 0, implying f(f(0)) = 0. If there
were another x such that f(f(x)) = 0 = f(f(0)), injectivity would imply f(x) = f(0) and x = 0.
