Let $$f\left( a \right) = g\left( a \right) = k$$ and their nth derivatives $${f^n}\left( a \right),\,{g^n}\left( a \right)$$ exist and are not equal for some $$n.$$ Further if $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \frac{{f\left( a \right)g\left( x \right) - f\left( a \right) - g\left( a \right)f\left( x \right) + f\left( a \right)}}{{g\left( x \right) - f\left( x \right)}} = 4$$ then the value of $$k$$ is-
A
$$0$$
B
$$4$$
C
$$2$$
D
$$1$$
Answer :
$$4$$
$$\eqalign{
& \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \frac{{f\left( a \right)g'\left( x \right) - g\left( a \right)f'\left( x \right)}}{{g'\left( x \right) - f'\left( x \right)}} = 4\,\,\left( {{\text{By L'Hospital rule}}} \right) \cr
& \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \frac{{k\,g'\left( x \right) - k\,f'\left( x \right)}}{{g'\left( x \right) - f'\left( x \right)}} = 4 \cr
& \therefore k = 4 \cr} $$

Consider the following :
$$\eqalign{
& 1.\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x}{\text{ exists}}{\text{.}} \cr
& {\text{2}}{\text{.}}\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,{e^{\frac{1}{x}}}{\text{ does not exist}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
Which of the above is/are correct ?
A
1 only
B
2 only
C
Both 1 and 2
D
Neither 1 nor 2
Answer :
2 only
$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{0} = \infty $$ which does not exist.
Hence, statements-1 is incorrect.
Now, $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} = {e^\infty }$$ which also does not exist.
Hence, statement-2 is correct.

\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,0,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x = 0
\end{array} \right.\] then $$f\left( x \right)$$ is :
A
continuous as well as differentiable at $$x = 0$$
B
continuous but not differentiable at $$x = 0$$
C
differentiable but not continuous at $$x = 0$$
D
neither continuous nor differentiable at $$x = 0$$
Answer :
continuous as well as differentiable at $$x = 0$$

Let $$f\left( x \right)$$ be a polynomial function of the second degree. If $$f\left( 1 \right) = f\left( { - 1} \right)$$ and $${a_1},\,{a_2},\,{a_3}$$ are in AP then $$f'\left( {{a_1}} \right),\,f'\left( {{a_2}} \right),\,f'\left( {{a_3}} \right)$$ are in :
A
AP
B
GP
C
HP
D
none of these
Answer :
AP
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let }}f\left( x \right) = \lambda {x^2} + \mu x + v \cr
& {\text{Then }}f'\left( x \right) = 2\lambda x + \mu \cr
& {\text{Also,}}\,\,f\left( 1 \right) = f\left( { - 1} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow \lambda + \mu + v = \lambda - \mu + v \cr
& \Rightarrow \mu = 0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\therefore f'\left( x \right) = 2\lambda x \cr
& \therefore f'\left( {{a_1}} \right) = 2\lambda {a_1}\,\,\,\,f'\left( {{a_2}} \right) = 2\lambda {a_2}\,\,\,\,f'\left( {{a_3}} \right) = 2\lambda {a_3} \cr
& {\text{As }}{a_1},\,{a_2},\,{a_3}{\text{ are in AP, }}f'\left( {{a_1}} \right),\,f'\left( {{a_2}} \right),\,f'\left( {{a_3}} \right){\text{ are in AP}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$

The function $$f\left( x \right) = \left( {{x^2} - 1} \right)\left| {{x^2} - 3x + 2} \right| + \cos \left( {\left| x \right|} \right)$$ is NOT differentiable at-
37.
If $$f\left( 0 \right) = 0,\,f'\left( 0 \right) = 2,$$ then the derivative of $$y = f\left( {f\left( {f\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)} \right)$$ at $$x = 0$$ is :
38.
Suppose $$f\left( x \right)$$ is differentiable at $$x = 1$$ and
$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{1}{h}f\left( {1 + h} \right) = 5,$$ then $$f'\left( 1 \right)$$ equals-
A
$$3$$
B
$$4$$
C
$$5$$
D
$$6$$
Answer :
$$5$$
$$f'\left( 1 \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f\left( {1 + h} \right) - f\left( 1 \right)}}{h}\,;$$
As function is differentiable so it is continuous as it is given that $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f\left( {1 + h} \right)}}{h} = 5$$ and hence $$f\left( 1 \right) = 0$$
Hence, $$f'\left( 1 \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f\left( {1 + h} \right)}}{h} = 5$$

If $$P\left( x \right)$$ is a polynomial such that $$P\left( {{x^2} + 1} \right) = {\left\{ {P\left( x \right)} \right\}^2} + 1$$ and $$P\left( 0 \right) = 0$$ then $$P'\left( 0 \right)$$ is equal to :
A
1
B
0
C
$$-1$$
D
none of these
Answer :
1
$$\because P\left( {{x^2} + 1} \right) = {\left\{ {P\left( x \right)} \right\}^2} + 1$$ and $$P\left( x \right)$$ is a polynomial, we have $$P\left( x \right) = x$$ which also satisfies $$P\left( 0 \right) = 0.$$ Therefore, $$P'\left( x \right) = 1.$$ So, $$P'\left( 0 \right) = 1.$$
