Q34 / 69 · JEE Advanced 2008 (Paper 1) · Mathematics

Let $f$ and $g$ be real valued functions defined on interval $(-1,1)$ such that $g^{\prime \prime}(x)$ is continuous, $g(0) \neq 0, g^{\prime}(0)=0, g^{\prime \prime}(0) \neq 0$ and $f(x)=g(x) \sin x$. Statement $1 \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}[g(x) \cos x-g(0) \operatorname{cosec} x]=f^{\prime \prime}(0)$. Statement $2 f^{\prime}(0)=g(0)$.

  • A
    Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  • Correct answer
    B
    Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  • C
    Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  • D
    Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true

Solution

We have, $$ \begin{aligned} & \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{g(x) \cos x-g(0)}{\sin x} \\ & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{g^{\prime}(x) \cos x-g(x) \sin x}{\cos x}=0 \end{aligned} $$ Since, $f(x)=g(x) \sin x$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(x)=g^{\prime}(x) \sin x+g(x) \cos x \\ & \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime \prime}(x)=g^{\prime \prime}(x) \sin x+2 g^{\prime}(x) \cos x-g(x) \sin x \\ & \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime \prime}(0)=0 \end{aligned} $$ Thus, $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}[g(x) \cos x-g(0) \operatorname{cosec} x]=0=f^{\prime \prime}(0)$ $\Rightarrow$ Statement 1 is true. Statement 2. $f^{\prime}(x)=g^{\prime}(x) \sin x+g(x) \cos x$ $$ \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(0)=g(0) $$ Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.

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