Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

If the function
$$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{k_1}{{\left( {x - \pi } \right)}^2} - 1,} & {x \le \pi } \cr {{k_2}\cos x,} & {x > \pi } \cr } } \right.$$ is
twice differentiable, then the ordered pair (k1, k2) is equal to :

  1. A $\left( {{1 \over 2},-1} \right)$
  2. B (1, 1)
  3. C (1, 0)
  4. D $\left( {{1 \over 2},1} \right)$ Correct answer

Solution

Given, $$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{k_1}{{\left( {x - \pi } \right)}^2} - 1,} &amp; {x \le \pi } \cr {{k_2}\cos x,} &amp; {x &gt; \pi } \cr } } \right.$$ <br><br>Differentiating one time, <br><br>$$f'\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {2{k_1}\left( {x - \pi } \right),} &amp; {x \le \pi } \cr { - {k_2}\sin x,} &amp; {x &gt; \pi } \cr } } \right.$$ <br><br>Differentiating one more time, <br><br>$$f''\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {2{k_1},} &amp; {x \le \pi } \cr { - {k_2}\cos x,} &amp; {x &gt; \pi } \cr } } \right.$$ <br><br>As f''(x) is differentiable so <br><br>f''($\pi$<sup>+</sup>) = f''($\pi$<sup>-</sup>) <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ -k<sub>2</sub>(-1) = 2k<sub>1</sub> <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ 2k<sub>1</sub> = k<sub>2</sub> <br><br>$\therefore$ (k<sub>1</sub>, k<sub>2</sub>) = $\left( {{1 \over 2},1} \right)$
