Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2,0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& \lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} 1+\sin \frac{\pi}{2}=1+1=2 \\
& \lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} a+b=a+b
\end{aligned}
\)
Since \(f(x)\) is continuous at \(x=1\), we get \(a+b=2\)
[From (1), (2)]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} a x+b=3 a+b \\
& \lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} 6 \tan \frac{x \pi}{12}=6 \tan \frac{3 \pi}{12}=6
\end{aligned}
\)
Since \(f(x)\) is continuous at \(x=3\), we get \(3 a+b=6\)
[From (4), (5)]
Solving (3) and (6), we get a \(=2, b=0\)
