$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x^{2}-4}{x-\lambda}, & x 2 \end{cases}$ be a continuous function, then

$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x^{2}-4}{x-\lambda}, & x < 2 \\ \mu, & x = 2 \\ \frac{x^{3}-8}{x-\mu}, & x > 2 \end{cases}$ be a continuous function, then
  1. $\lambda = 2, \upsilon = 4$
  2. $\lambda \neq 2, \upsilon = 2$
  3. $\lambda \neq 2, \upsilon \neq 2$
  4. $\lambda = 2, \upsilon \neq 2$

Solution

(i) If $\lambda=2$ then $f\left(2^{-}\right)=4$ (ii) If $\lambda\neq2$ then $f\left(2^{-}\right)=0$ (iii) If $\upsilon=2$ then $f\left(2^{+}\right)=12$ (iv) If $\upsilon\neq2$ then $f\left(2^{+}\right)=0$ Therefore, $f\left|x\right|$ is continuous at $x=2$ if $\lambda\neq2$, $\upsilon\neq2$ and $\mu=0$ Therefore, $\lambda\neq2$, $\upsilon\neq2$ is the only correct option.
