Question

Let $$f\left( x \right) = \frac{{1 - \tan \,x}}{{4x - \pi }},\,\,x \ne \frac{\pi }{4},\,x \in \left[ {0,\,\,\frac{\pi }{2}} \right].$$        If $$f\left( x \right)$$  is continuous in $$\left[ {0,\,\,\frac{\pi }{2}} \right]$$  then $$f\left( {\frac{\pi}{4}} \right)$$  is-

A. $$-1$$
B. $$\frac{1}{2}$$
C. $$ - \frac{1}{2}$$  
D. $$1$$
Answer :   $$ - \frac{1}{2}$$
Solution :
$$f\left( x \right) = \frac{{1 - \tan \,x}}{{4x - \pi }}$$     is continuous in $$\left[ {0,\,\,\frac{\pi }{2}} \right]$$
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore f\left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{4}} f\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{{{\pi ^ + }}}{4}} f\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f\left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + h} \right) \cr & = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{1 - \tan \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + h} \right)}}{{4\left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + h} \right) - \pi }},\,h > 0 = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{1 - \frac{{1 + \tan \,h}}{{1 - \tan \,h}}}}{{4h}} \cr & = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{ - 2}}{{1 - \tan \,h}}.\frac{{\tan \,h}}{{4h}} \cr & = \frac{{ - 2}}{4} = - \frac{1}{2} \cr} $$
