Correct Answer: (C) \(3\)
View Solution



Concept:

A function is continuous at \(x=a\) if
\[ \lim_{x\to a} f(x) = f(a) \]

Thus for continuity at \(x=0\),
\[ \lim_{x\to0} f(x) = f(0) \]

We also use the standard limit
\[ \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}{x} = 1 \]


Step 1: {\color{redFind the limit of the function as \(x \to 0\).
\[ \lim_{x\to0} \frac{k\sin x}{x} \]
\[ = k \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}{x} \]
\[ = k(1) \]
\[ = k \]


Step 2: {\color{redApply the continuity condition.

Given:
\[ f(0)=3 \]

For continuity,
\[ \lim_{x\to0} f(x) = f(0) \]
\[ k = 3 \]

Therefore,
\[ \boxed{k = 3} \] Quick Tip: Whenever expressions involve \(\dfrac{\sin x}{x}\) near \(x=0\), remember the important limit: \[ \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}{x}=1 \] This identity is frequently used in continuity and limit problems.
