The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given, $f(x)=\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{10}=\frac{1}{2^{10}} \cdot x^{10}$
On differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get
$f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{2^{10}} 10 x^{9}$
Again, differentiating, we get
f^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{1}{2^{10}} 10 \cdot 9 x^{8}
$$
Similar, $f^{(10)}=\frac{1}{2^{10}} 10 !$
$\therefore$ The given sum
$=\frac{1}{2^{10}}\left[1+\frac{10}{1 !}+\frac{10 \cdot 9}{2 !}+\frac{10 \cdot 9 \cdot 8}{3 !}+\ldots+\frac{10 !}{10 !}\right]$W
$=\frac{1}{2^{10}}\left[{ }^{10} C_{0}+{ }^{10} C_{1}+{ }^{10} C_{2}+\ldots+{ }^{10} C_{10}\right] $
$=\frac{2^{10}}{2^{10}}=1 \left[\because{ }^{n} C_{0}+{ }^{n} C_{1}+\ldots+C_{n}=2\right.$

Continuity

A function is said to be continuous at a point x = a,  if

limx→a

f(x) Exists, and

limx→a

f(x) = f(a)

It implies that if the left hand limit (L.H.L), right hand limit (R.H.L) and the value of the function at x=a exists and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.

If the function is undefined or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.

Conditions for continuity of a function: For any function to be continuous, it must meet the following conditions:

  • The function f(x) specified at x = a, is continuous only if f(a) belongs to real number.
  • The limit of the function as x approaches a, exists.
  • The limit of the function as x approaches a, must be equal to the function value at x = a.
