If $\begin{aligned} f(x) &=\frac{4 \sin \pi x}{5 x} \text { for } x \neq 0 \\ &=2 \mathrm{k} \quad \text { for } x=0 \end{aligned}$ is continuous at $x=0$, then the value of $k$ is
  1. $\frac{2 \pi}{5}$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{5}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{10}$
  4. $\frac{4 \pi}{5}$

Solution

Since $f(x)$ is continuous at $x=0$, $\begin{array}{l} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0) \Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{4 \sin \pi x}{5 x}=2 k \\ \therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{4 \sin \pi x}{\pi x}\right) \cdot \frac{\pi}{5}=2 k \Rightarrow(1) \cdot \frac{4 \pi}{5}=2 k \Rightarrow k=\frac{2 \pi}{5} \end{array}$
