® xlim f ( x ) = lim- 5 - 4x = -11

® 4- x ®4

x ®5
x 2 - bx + 25

since lim x 2 - 7x + 10 = 0
x ®5
for existence of lim f ( x ) finitely

x ®5
lim x 2 - bx + 25 must be equal to 0

x ®5

9. CY0009
Ans. D
Sol. Let f(x) = [x2 + 1], x Î [1,3]
= [x2] + 1, x Î [1,3]
since x2 is continuous for x Î R so doubtful points of discontinuities of y = f(x) are of the form
x= n,n Î N

lim - f ( x ) = lim - éë x 2 ùû + 1 = n ...(1)

lim + f ( x ) = lim + éë x 2 ùû + 1 = n + 1 ...(2)
f ( n ) = n +1 ...(3)
lim f ( x ) ¹ f
x ® n-
( n)= lim + f ( x )
x® n
so f(n) is discontinuous at
x = 2, 3,.... 8, 9 = 3
but continuous at x = 1, because
1 is left end boundary point of internal [1,3] and xlim f ( x ) = f (1) .

®1+
so f(x) is discontinuous at 8 points.

10. CY0010
Ans. B
Sol. f(x) = [2x3 – 5] = [2x3] – 5
since y = 2x3 is continuous for x Î R
so doubt full points for continuity is x1 where 2x13
Q x Î [1,2)
x3 Î [1,8) Þ 2x2 Î [2,16)
®
Integral values of 2x3 = 2,3,4,5,...,15 (check for end point).
f(2) = [2(8) – 5] = 11
f(2+) = [2(8+) – 5] = 11 \ continuous at x = 2
and discontinuous at x = 3,4,....,15 i.e. 13 points.
11. CY0011
Ans. B
Sol. (i) x < – 2, f(x) = |x + 1|, f(x) is continuous a for all x < –2.
(ii) x = –2.
lim f ( x ) = lim- x + 1 = 1
x ®-2- x ®-2
f(–2) = –1
®
Þ xlim f ( x ) ¹ f ( -2 )
®-2-
Þ f(x) is discontinuous at x = –2
(iii) for x Î [–2,0), f(x) = 2x + 3 is continuous.
(iv) at x = 0
lim f ( x ) = lim- ( 2x + 3) = 3
x ® 0- x ®0
f ( 0 ) = 3 = lim+ f ( x )
x ®0
so f(x) is continuous at x = 0.
(v) f or x Î [0,3), f(x) = x2 + 3, is continuous
(vi) at x = 3
lim f ( x ) = lim- ( x 2 + 3) = 12
x ®3- x ®3
lim f ( x ) = f ( 3) = 33 - 15 = 12
x ®3+
Þ f(x) is continuous at x = 3
(viii)for x Î [3,¥), f(x) = x3 – 15, is continuous.
so number of point of discont. is 1.

\ Discontinuous at x = 0.
at x = 1; f(1) = [1]2 – [12] = 0
f(1+) = [1+] – [(1+)2] = 1 –1 = 0
f(1–) = [1–]2 – [(1–)2] = 0 – 0 = 0
\ continuous at x = 1
at x = n,
f(n) = [n]2 – [n2] = 0
f(n+) = [n+]2 – [(n+)2] = n2 – n2 = 0
f(n–) = [n–]2 – [(n–)2] = (n – 1)2 – (n2 – 1)
= n2 – 2n + 1 – n2 + 1
= –2n + 2
for continuity
