The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We have,
$ f^{\prime}(x)= g(x+1) $
$ \Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(x) =g^{\prime}(x+1) $
$\text { But } g^{\prime}(x)=h(x-1) $
$ \Rightarrow g^{\prime}(x+1) =h(x+1-1) $
$ =h(x) $
$ \therefore f^{\prime \prime}(x)=h(x) $
$ \Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(2 x) =h(2 x)$

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.
