If the function $f(x)=\frac{\log 10+\log (0.1+2 x)}{2 x}$ if $x \neq 0$ $=k \quad$ if $x=0$ is continuous at $x=0$, then $k+2=$
  1. 2
  2. 10
  3. 12
  4. 11

Solution

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log 10+\log (0.1+2 x)}{2 x}=k$ $\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+20 x)}{2 x}=k \Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \log (1+20 x)^{\frac{1}{2 x}}=k$ $\therefore \log \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[(1+20 x)^{\frac{1}{20 x}}\right]^{10}=k \Rightarrow \log e^{10}=k \Rightarrow k=10 \Rightarrow k+2=10+2=12$
