Suppose $f(x)$ is differentiable $x=1$ and $\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{h} f(1+h)=5$, then $f^{\prime}(1)$ equals
  1. 3
  2. 4
  3. 5
  4. 6

Solution

$f^{\prime}(1)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}$; As function is differentiable so it is continuous as it is given that $\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(1+h)}{h}=5$ and hence $f(1)=0$ Hence $f^{\prime}(1)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(1+h)}{h}=5$ Hence (C) is the correct answer.
