Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(\mathrm{f}(x)\) is continuous at \(x=\frac{\pi}{2}\).
\(\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{\frac{\tan 4 x}{\tan 5 x}} \\
& \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}+\frac{2}{5}=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}}(\tan 4 x \cot 5 x)} \\
& \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}+\frac{2}{5}=\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^0=1 \\
& \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=\frac{3}{5}
\end{aligned}\)
