Answer:

Correct Answer: 6. (b)

Solution:

  1. Key Idea A function is said to be continuous if it is continuous at each point of the domain.

We have,

f(x)=5 if x1a+bx if 1<x<3b+5x if 3x<5

Clearly, for f(x) to be continuous, it has to be continuous at x=1,x=3 and x=5

[ In rest portion it is continuous everywhere]

limx1+(a+bx)=a+b=5

[limx1f(x)=limx1+f(x)=f(1)]

limx5(b+5x)=b+25=30[limx5f(x)=limx5+f(x)=f(5)]

On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get b=5 and a=0

Now, let us check the continuity of f(x) at x=3.

Here,

limx3(a+bx)=a+3b=15limx3+(b+5x)=b+15=20

and

Hence, for a=0 and b=5,f(x) is not continuous at x=3 f(x) cannot be continuous for any values of a and b.
