MCQ
If the function $f(x)=\frac{1}{x} \log _{e}(\frac{1+\frac{x}{a}}{1-\frac{x}{b}}) , \quad x<0$

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad k \quad, \quad x=0$

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\frac{\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x-1}{\sqrt{x^{2}+1}-1} ,\,\,\, x>0$

is continuous at $x=0$, then $\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{4}{k}$ is equal to :

  • $-5$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $-4$
  • D
    $4$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-5$
a
If $f(\mathrm{x})$ is continuous at $\mathrm{x}=0, \mathrm{RHL}=\mathrm{LHL}=f(0)$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x-1}{\sqrt{x^{2}+1}-1} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{x^{2}+1}+1}{\sqrt{x^{2}+1}+1}$ (Rationalisation) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}-\frac{2 \sin ^{2} x}{x^{2}} \cdot\left(\sqrt{x^{2}+1}+1\right)=-4$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{1}{x} \ell n\left(\frac{1+\frac{x}{a}}{1-\frac{x}{b}}\right)$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\ln \left(1+\frac{x}{a}\right)}{\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) \cdot a}+\frac{\ell n\left(1-\frac{x}{b}\right)}{\left(-\frac{x}{b}\right) \cdot b}$

$=\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~b}}$

So $\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}=-4=k$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{4}{k}=-4-1=-5$
