JEE Advanced 2017 · Paper 2, Mathematics question 11

Let f(x)=1−x(1+∣1−x∣)∣1−x∣cos⁡(11−x)f(x) = \dfrac{1 - x(1 + |1 - x|)}{|1 - x|}\cos\left(\dfrac{1}{1 - x}\right) for x≠1x \ne 1. Then

Choose one or more options
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A, D

Left of 1. Here ∣1−x∣=1−x|1-x|=1-x. The numerator is 1−x(2−x)=(1−x)21-x(2-x)=(1-x)^2, so
f(x)=(1−x)cos⁡11−x→0f(x)=(1-x)\cos\frac1{1-x}\to0
(bounded × 0). (A) is true.

Right of 1. Here ∣1−x∣=x−1|1-x|=x-1. The numerator is 1−x2=−(x−1)(x+1)1-x^2=-(x-1)(x+1), so
f(x)=−(x+1)cos⁡11−x.f(x)=-(x+1)\cos\frac1{1-x}.
This oscillates between about −2-2 and 22, so the limit does not exist. (D) is true.

(A), (D)
