Solution:

We have y limx→0 f (cos3 x − cos2 x) = x limx→0 f (sin2 x − sin3 x)

​ ​

cos3 x − cos2 x → 0 from L.H.S.

∴ lim f (cos3 x − cos2 x) = 4
​

x→0
sin x − sin3 x → 0

Q.4 Answer:
2 or 1 according as x is rational or irrational
Solution:

Limit Limitn→∞ 1 + cos2 m(n!πn)

​ ​

m→∞
Let x ∈ [0, 1] is a rational
then n!.x if n → ∞ becomes integral
∴ cos2 (n!x)π = 1
m
∴ Limitm→∞ (cos2 n!xπ ) = 1 ​

∴ l = 1 + 1 = 2 if x is rational
if x is irrational, then n!x is not an integer
∴ cos2 (n!x)π is less than 1
(cos2 (n!x)π)m → 0
∴ l = 1 + 0 = 1 ⇒ the result

Q.7 Answer:
a = −1, b = 2
Solution:

L.H.L. limx→1− ​ f (x) = limx→1− x2 e2(x−1) = 1 ​

Also, f (1)=1
Now R.H.L. = limx→1− f (x) = limx→1+ a sgn(x + 1) cos 2
​ ​

(x − 1) + bx2 = a ⋅ 1 ⋅ 1 + b
For continuity a + b = 1

(∵ a + b = 1)
f (x) is differentiable at x = 1 if 2b = 4

Also 2n Cn = n!.n!

k + cos2 ( Aπ2 ) = 1 + 1 = 2 ​

(B) We have [2 + 5∣n∣ sin x] = 2 + [5∣n∣ sin x]

Let y = 5∣n∣ sin x
∴ Number of points of non-derivability
= 2(5∣n∣ − 1) + 1 = 10∣n∣ − 1
∴ 10∣n∣ − 1 = 19 ⇒ 10∣n∣ = 20 ⇒ ∣n∣ = 2

Hence, n = ±2

Q.20 Answer:

Solution:

For limit to exist and equal to 1 coefficient of x4 in denominator = 0 (as degree of x in Dr > N r )
Now degree of x in D r is 2 and degree of x in N r is 3
coefficient of x2 in N r
∴ coefficient of x3 in Nr = 0 otherwise L =  1 and will be infinity and coefficient of x2 in Dr
​
= 1 now coefficient of x4 in
D = 5a − b + 4c = 0
r

coefficient of x3 in Nr = 2a + b − 3c = 0
coefficiently of x2 in N r
coefficiently of x2 in Dr =
​ 1 ⇒ −a+5b−c
2
=1 ​

∴ a − 5b + c + 2 = 0
−2 46 14
Solving (1), (2) and (3) we get a = 109 , b = 109 and c = 109 ​ ​ ​

58
⇒ a + b + c = 109 = pq ⇒ p + q = 167
