Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ y=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{xf(2)-2f(x)}{x-2} $
Þ $ y=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{xf(2)-2f(2)+2f(2)-2f(x)}{x-2} $
Þ $ y=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{-2f(x)+2f(2)+xf(2)-2f(2)}{(x-2)} $
Þ $ y=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }},-2\frac{[f(x)-f(2)]}{x-2}+\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{f(2).(x-2)}{(x-2)} $
Þ $ y=-2\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{f(x)-f(2)}{x-2}+f(2) $
Þ $ y=-2\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }},{f}’(x)+f(2)=-,8+4=-,4 $ .
