Q35 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

If for p≠q≠0, then function fx=p729+x7-3729+qx3-9 is continuous at x=0, then

  • A
    7pqf0-1=0
  • Correct answer
    B
    63qf0-p2=0
  • C
    21qf0-p2=0
  • D
    7pq f0-9=0

Solution

For a function to be continuous fx to be x=0, we know 

f0=limx→0fx

For fx=p729+x7-3729+qx3-9 

limit should be 00 from

So, limx→0p729+x7-3 

p.7297-3=0

⇒p·729=37 ⇒ p=3

Now, f0=limx→0336+x7-336+qx3-9

=limx→031+x3617-191+qx3613-1=39×17·36q3·36

⇒f0=13×37q=17q

⇒7qf0-1=0

⇒7·p2·qf0-p2=0  (multiplying the equation by p2)

⇒63qf0-p2=0

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