Solution

Correct Answer:

lim(x→a) f(x) = f(a)

By definition, for a function to be continuous at a point , three specific criteria must be met:

  1. Defined at point: must exist (no holes or asymptotes).
  2. Limit exists: must exist (Left-hand limit = Right-hand limit).
  3. Consistency: The limit as approaches must exactly equal the function's value at , i.e., . This ensures there is no 'jump' at .

This easy difficulty mathematics question is from the chapter limit, continuity and differentiability, covering the topic of continuity. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
