JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2005 - No. 4)

Suppose $$f(x)$$ is differentiable at x = 1 and

$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} {1 \over h}f\left( {1 + h} \right) = 5$$, then $$f'\left( 1 \right)$$ equals
3
4
5
6

Explanation

$$f'\left( 1 \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} {{f\left( {1 + h} \right) - f\left( 1 \right)} \over h};$$

As function is differentiable so it is continuous as it

is given that $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} {{f\left( {1 + h} \right)} \over h} = 5$$ and hence $$f(1)=0$$

Hence $$f'(1)$$ $$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} {{f\left( {1 + h} \right)} \over h} = 5$$
