Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(a=\frac{\pi}{6}, b=\frac{-\pi}{12}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{-}}{4}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{-}}{4}} x+a \sqrt{2} \sin x\)

\(\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{4}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{4}} 2 x \cot x+b\)
\(\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{-}}{2}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{-}}{2}} 2 x \cot x+b\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{2}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{2}} a \cos 2 x-b \sin x \\ & =a \cos 2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-b \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\end{aligned}\)
Since \(f(x)\) is continuous at \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) and \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), we write
\(\frac{\pi}{4}+\mathrm{a}=\frac{\pi}{2}+\mathrm{b} \quad \ldots[\) From (1) and (2) \(]\)
\(\mathrm{b}=-\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b} \quad \ldots[\) From (3) and (4) \(]\)

\(\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{4}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{4}} 2 x \cot x+b\)

\(\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{-}}{2}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{-}}{2}} 2 x \cot x+b\)

\(\begin{aligned} & \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{2}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{2}} a \cos 2 x-b \sin x \\ & =a \cos 2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-b \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\end{aligned}\)

Since \(f(x)\) is continuous at \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) and \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), we write
\(\frac{\pi}{4}+\mathrm{a}=\frac{\pi}{2}+\mathrm{b} \quad \ldots[\) From (1) and (2) \(]\)

\(\mathrm{b}=-\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b} \quad \ldots[\) From (3) and (4) \(]\)
