Q108 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Mathematics

\[ \text { If } f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \frac{3 \sin \Pi x}{5 x} ; & x \neq 0 \\ 2 K ; & x=0 \end{array}\right. \]
is continuous at \( x=0 \), then the value of \( K \) is

  • Correct answer
    A
    \( \frac{3 \pi}{10} \)
  • B
    \( \frac{3 \pi}{5} \)
  • C
    \( \frac{\Pi}{10} \)
  • D
    \( \frac{3 \pi}{2} \)

Solution

Given that \( f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl}\frac{3 \sin \pi x}{5 x} & x \neq 0 \\ 2 K & x=0\end{array}\right. \)
Now,
\[ \begin{array}{l} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{3 \sin \pi x}{5 x}\right)=2 K \\ \Rightarrow \frac{3 \pi}{5} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \pi x}{x I I}=2 K \\ \Rightarrow \frac{3 \Pi}{5} \times 1=2 K \Rightarrow K=\frac{3 \Pi}{10} \end{array} \]

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
