Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-\frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& f(x)=\frac{1-\tan x}{4 x-\pi} \\
& \text { Let } x=\frac{\pi}{4}+\mathrm{t} \\
& \therefore \quad \text { when } x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{4}, \mathrm{t} \rightarrow 0 \\
& \therefore f(x)=\frac{1-\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+t\right)}{4\left(\frac{\pi}{4}+t\right)-\pi}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad f(t) & =\frac{1-\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+t\right)}{4 t} \\ & =\frac{1-\left(\frac{1+\tan t}{1-\tan t}\right)}{4 t} \\ & =\frac{-2 \tan t}{(1-\tan t) 4 t}=\frac{-1}{2} \times \frac{\tan t}{t} \times \frac{1}{1-\tan t} \\ \therefore \quad f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & =\lim _{t \rightarrow 0} f(t)=\frac{-1}{2}\end{aligned}\)
