MCQ
Let $a,b \in R,\left( {a \ne 0} \right)$. if the function $f$ defined as

$f\left( x \right)\left\{ \begin{array}{l}
\frac{{2{x^2}}}{a}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,\,\,\,\,\,0 \le x < 1\,\,\,\\
a\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,\,\,\,\,\,1 \le x < \sqrt 2 \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\\
\frac{{2{b^2} - 4b}}{{{x^3}}}\,\,\,,\,\,\,\,\,\sqrt 2  \le x < \infty 
\end{array} \right.\,\,\,\,$ 

is continuous in the interval $\left[ {0,\infty } \right)$ , then an ordered pair $(a, b)$ is

  • A
    $\left( { - \sqrt 2 ,1 - \sqrt 3 } \right)$
  • B
    $\left( {\sqrt 2 , - 1 + \sqrt 3 } \right)$
  • $\left( {\sqrt 2 ,1 - \sqrt 3 } \right)$
  • D
    $\left( { - \sqrt 2 ,1 + \sqrt 3 } \right)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\left( {\sqrt 2 ,1 - \sqrt 3 } \right)$
c
Continuity at $x=1$

$\frac{2}{a} = a \Rightarrow a =  \pm \sqrt 2 $

Continuity at $x = \sqrt 2 \,a = \sqrt 2 $

$a = \frac{{2{b^2} - 4b}}{{2\sqrt 2 }}$

Put $a = \sqrt 2 $

$2 = {b^2} - 2b\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow {b^2} - 2b - 2 = 0$

$b = \frac{{2 \pm \sqrt {4 + 4.2} }}{2} = 1 \pm \sqrt 3 $

So, $\left( {a,b} \right) = \left( {\sqrt 2 ,1 - \sqrt 3 } \right)$
