If for p≠q≠0\mathrm{p} \neq \mathrm{q} \neq 0 , the function f(x)=p(729+x)7−3729+qx3−9f(x)=\frac{\sqrt[7]{\mathrm{p}(729+x)}-3}{\sqrt[3]{729+\mathrm{q} x}-9} is continuous at x=0x=0 , then :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 7pq f(0)−1=07 p q \,f(0)-1=0
  • B 63q f(0)−p2=063 q \,f(0)-\mathrm{p}^{2}=0
  • C 21q f(0)−p2=021 q \,f(0)-\mathrm{p}^{2}=0
  • D 7pq f(0)−9=07 p q \,f(0)-9=0

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

f(x)=p(729+x)7−3729+qx3−9

for continuity at x=0x = 0 , lim⁡x→0f(x)=f(0)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x) = f(0)

Now, ∴\therefore limx→0⁡f(x)=limx→0⁡p(729+x)7−3729+qx3−9

⇒p=3\Rightarrow p = 3 (To make indeterminant form)

So, lim⁡x→0f(x)=lim⁡x→0(37+3x)17−3(729+qx)13−9\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{{\left( {{3^7} + 3x} \right)}^{{1 \over 7}}} - 3} \over {{{\left( {729 + qx} \right)}^{{1 \over 3}}} - 9}}

=lim⁡x→03[(1+x36)17−1]9[(1+q729x)13−1]=13 . 17 . 13613 . q729= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{3\left[ {{{\left( {1 + {x \over {{3^6}}}} \right)}^{{1 \over 7}}} - 1} \right]} \over {9\left[ {{{\left( {1 + {q \over {729}}x} \right)}^{{1 \over 3}}} - 1} \right]}} = {1 \over 3}\,.\,{{{1 \over 7}\,.\,{1 \over {{3^6}}}} \over {{1 \over 3}\,.\,{q \over {729}}}}

∴\therefore f(0)=17qf(0) = {1 \over {7q}}

∴\therefore Option (B) is correct.
