Answer: A, B, C

Step-by-step solution

 (A) ∫0π/3g(x)dx=∫0π/3(f(x)−3cos⁡3x)dx=∫0π/3f(x)dx−∫0π/33cos⁡3xdx=0⇒g(x)=0\begin{aligned} & \text { (A) } \int_{0}^{\pi / 3} g(x) d x=\int_{0}^{\pi / 3}(f(x)-3 \cos 3 x) d x=\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} f(x) d x-\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} 3 \cos 3 x d x=0 \\& \Rightarrow g(x)=0 \end{aligned} has at least one solution in [0,π/3][0, \pi / 3]

(B) Let h(x)=f(x)−3sin⁡3x+6/πh(x)=f(x)-3 \sin 3 x+6 / \pi ∫0π/3h(x)=∫0π/3(f(x)−3sin⁡3x+6π)dx=0\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} h(x)=\int_{0}^{\pi / 3}\left(f(x)-3 \sin 3 x+\frac{6}{\pi}\right) d x=0

⇒h(x)=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{h}(\mathrm{x})=0 has atleast one solution in [0,π/3][0, \pi / 3]

(C) lim⁡x→0∫0xf(t)dtx=lim⁡x→0f(x)1=f(0)=1\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\int_{0}^{x} f(t) d t}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x)}{1}=f(0)=1

⇒lim⁡x→0x∫0xf(t)dtx2(1−ex2x2)=lim⁡x→0−∫0xf(t)x⋅x2(ex2−1)=−1\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x \int_{0}^{x} f(t) d t}{x^{2}\left(\frac{1-e^{x^{2}}}{x^{2}}\right)}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-\int_{0}^{x} f(t)}{x} \cdot \frac{x^{2}}{\left(e^{x^{2}}-1\right)}=-1

(D) lim⁡x→0sin⁡xx⋅∫0xf(t)x=1\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \cdot \frac{\int_{0}^{x} f(t)}{x}=1
