JEE Advanced 2019 — Paper 2 — Question 27

Let f:R→R\mathrm{f}: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} be a function. We say that f has

PROPERTY 1 if lim⁡h→0f( h)−f(0)∣h∣\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(\mathrm{~h})-\mathrm{f}(0)}{\sqrt{\mid \mathrm{h\mid}}} exists and is finite, and

PROPERTY 2 if lim⁡h→0f(h)−f(0)h2\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(h)-f(0)}{h^{2}} exists and if finite.

Then, which of the following options is/are correct?

  1. Option A:

    f(x)=x∣x∣f(x)=x|x| has PROPERTY 2

  2. Option B:

    f(x)=sin⁡xf(x)=\sin x has PROPERTY 2

  3. Option C:

    f(x)=∣x∣f(x)=|x| has PROPERTY 1

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    f(x)=x2/3\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}^{2 / 3} has PROPERTY 1

    Correct

Answer: C, D

Step-by-step solution

(A) f(x)=x∣x∣f(x)=x|x| =lim⁡h→0h∣h∣h2=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{h|h|}{h^{2}}

lim⁡h→0∣ h∣h\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{|\mathrm{~h}|}{\mathrm{h}} does not exist.

(B) f(x)=sin⁡x\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\sin \mathrm{x}

lim⁡h→0sinh⁡−0h2\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sinh -0}{h^{2}} does not exist.

(C) f(x)=∣x∣\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=|\mathrm{x}|

lim⁡h→0∣ h∣−0∣ h∣=0\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{|\mathrm{~h}|-0}{\sqrt{|\mathrm{~h}|}}=0

(D) f(x)=x2/3f(x)=x^{2 / 3}

lim⁡h→0h2/3∣h∣=0\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{h^{2 / 3}}{\sqrt{|h|}}=0
