Section C — Assertion & Reasoning
Question 14 — Assertion / Reason
Assertion (A): For a function $f(x)$, if the left-hand limit equals 2 and the right-hand limit equals 2, the two-sided limit is guaranteed to exist and equal 2.
Reason (R): A two-sided limit exists at a point if and only if both one-sided limits exist, are finite, and are identically equal.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C
A is true but R is false
D
A is false but R is true
Solution: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
Question 15 — Assertion / Reason
Assertion (A): The function $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$ is continuous on the open interval $(0, 1)$, but features an infinite discontinuity at the boundary point $x = 0$.
Reason (R): As $x \to 0^+$, the function values approach positive infinity ($\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{1}{x} = \infty$), creating a vertical asymptote at the boundary.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C
A is true but R is false
D
A is false but R is true
Solution: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
