Options:
A) 5
B) 6
C) 3
D) 4
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ f’(1)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}; $ As function is differentiable so it is continous as it is given that $ \underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{f(1+h)}{h}=5 $ and hence $ f(1)=0 $ . Hence $ f’(1)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{f(1+h)}{h}=5 $ .
