  • C lim⁡x→0f(x)g(x)=π6\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{f(x)} \over {g(x)}} = {\pi \over 6} .

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(a) f(x)=sin⁡[π6sin⁡(π2sin⁡x)], x∈Rf(x) = \sin \left[ {{\pi \over 6}\sin \left( {{\pi \over 2}\sin x} \right)} \right],\,x \in R

=sin⁡(π6sin⁡θ), θ∈[−π2,π2]= \sin \left( {{\pi \over 6}\sin \theta } \right),\,\theta \in \left[ { - {\pi \over 2},{\pi \over 2}} \right] ,

where, θ=π2sin⁡x\theta = {\pi \over 2}\sin x

=sin⁡α,α∈[−π6,π6]= \sin \alpha ,\alpha \in \left[ { - {\pi \over 6},{\pi \over 6}} \right] ,

where, α=π6sin⁡θ\alpha = {\pi \over 6}\sin \theta

∴\therefore f(x)∈[−12,12]f(x) \in \left[ { - {1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right]

Hence, range of f(x)∈[−12,12]f(x) \in \left[ { - {1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right]

So, option (a) is correct.

(b) f{g(x)}=f(t),t∈[−π2,π2]f\{ g(x)\} = f(t),t \in \left[ { - {\pi \over 2},{\pi \over 2}} \right]

⇒f(t)∈[−12,12]\Rightarrow f(t) \in \left[ { - {1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right]

∴\therefore Option (b) is correct.

(c) lim⁡x→0f(x)g(x)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{f(x)} \over {g(x)}}

=lim⁡x→0sin⁡[π6sin⁡(π2sin⁡x)]π2(sin⁡x)= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{\sin \left[ {{\pi \over 6}\sin \left( {{\pi \over 2}\sin x} \right)} \right]} \over {{\pi \over 2}(\sin x)}}

=lim⁡x→0sin⁡[π6sin⁡(π2sin⁡x)]π6sin⁡(π2sin⁡x) . π6sin⁡(π2sin⁡x)(π2sin⁡x)= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{\sin \left[ {{\pi \over 6}\sin \left( {{\pi \over 2}\sin x} \right)} \right]} \over {{\pi \over 6}\sin \left( {{\pi \over 2}\sin x} \right)}}\,.\,{{{\pi \over 6}\sin \left( {{\pi \over 2}\sin x} \right)} \over {\left( {{\pi \over 2}\sin x} \right)}}

=1×π6×1=π6= 1 \times {\pi \over 6} \times 1 = {\pi \over 6}

∴\therefore Option (c) is correct.

(d) g{f(x)}=1g\{ f(x)\} = 1

⇒π2sin⁡{f(x)}=1\Rightarrow {\pi \over 2}\sin \{ f(x)\} = 1

⇒sin⁡{f(x)}=2π\Rightarrow \sin \{ f(x)\} = {2 \over \pi } ..... (i)

But, f(x)∈[−12,12]⊂[−π6,π6]f(x) \in \left[ { - {1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right] \subset \left[ { - {\pi \over 6},{\pi \over 6}} \right]

∴\therefore sin⁡{f(x)}∈[−12,12]\sin \{ f(x)\} \in \left[ { - {1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right] ..... (ii)

⇒sin⁡{f(x)}≠2π\Rightarrow \sin \{ f(x)\} \ne {2 \over \pi } , [from Eqs. (i) and (ii)]

i.e. No solution.

∴\therefore Option (d) is not correct.
