Let $f, g$ and $h$ be the real valued functions defined on $\mathbb{R}$ as $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\frac{x}{|x|}, & x \neq 0 \\ 1, & x=0\end{array}\right.$ $g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\sin (x+1)}{(x+1)}, & x \neq-1 \\ 1, & x=-1\end{array}\right.$ and $h(x)=2[x]-f(x)$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer $\leq x$. Then the value of $\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow 1} g(h(x-1))$ is :

Answer

A. 1

Explanation

$$f(x) = {\mathop{\rm sgn}} (x)$$ $$h(x) = 2[x] - {\mathop{\rm sgn}} (x)$$ If $$x \to {1^ + }$$ then $$h(x - 1) = 2[x] - 2 - {\mathop{\rm sgn}} (x - 1)$$ $$ = 0 - 1 = - 1$$ & if $$x \to {1^ - }$$ then $$h(x - 1) = 2[x] - 2 - {\mathop{\rm sgn}} (x - 1)$$ $$ = - 2 + 1 = - 1$$ $$\therefore$$ $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ + }} g(h(x - 1)) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ + }} {{\sin (h(x + 1) + 1)} \over {h(x - 1) + 1}} = 1$$ $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ - }} g(h(x - 1)) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ - }} {{\sin (h(x - 1) + 1)} \over {h(x - 1) + 1}} = 1$$
