Step-by-Step Solution

To determine which of the given options are TRUE, we analyze each option step-by-step using fundamental concepts of calculus, including Rolle's Theorem, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and L'Hôpital's Rule.


Analysis of Option (A):

Consider the function g(x)g(x) defined on [0,π3]\left[0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right] by: g(x)=∫0x(f(t)−3cos⁡3t) dtg(x) = \int_0^x (f(t) - 3\cos 3t) \, dt

  1. Continuity and Differentiability: Since f(t)f(t) is continuous, g(x)g(x) is continuous on [0,π3]\left[0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right] and differentiable on (0,π3)\left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right).
  2. Boundary Values:
    • g(0)=∫00(f(t)−3cos⁡3t) dt=0g(0) = \int_0^0 (f(t) - 3\cos 3t) \, dt = 0
    • g(π3)=∫0π/3f(t) dt−∫0π/33cos⁡3t dtg\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \int_0^{\pi/3} f(t) \, dt - \int_0^{\pi/3} 3\cos 3t \, dt Using the given condition ∫0π/3f(t) dt=0\int_0^{\pi/3} f(t) \, dt = 0: g(π3)=0−[sin⁡3t]0π/3=0−(sin⁡π−sin⁡0)=0g\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 0 - [\sin 3t]_0^{\pi/3} = 0 - (\sin \pi - \sin 0) = 0

Since g(0)=g(π3)=0g(0) = g\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 0, by Rolle's Theorem, there exists at least one c∈(0,π3)c \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right) such that g′(c)=0g'(c) = 0.

By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: g′(x)=f(x)−3cos⁡3xg'(x) = f(x) - 3\cos 3x Thus, g′(c)=0  ⟹  f(c)−3cos⁡3c=0g'(c) = 0 \implies f(c) - 3\cos 3c = 0.

Therefore, Option (A) is TRUE.


Analysis of Option (B):

Consider the function h(x)h(x) defined on [0,π3]\left[0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right] by: h(x)=∫0x(f(t)−3sin⁡3t+6π) dth(x) = \int_0^x \left(f(t) - 3\sin 3t + \frac{6}{\pi}\right) \, dt

  1. Continuity and Differentiability: h(x)h(x) is continuous on [0,π3]\left[0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right] and differentiable on (0,π3)\left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right).
  2. Boundary Values:
    • h(0)=0h(0) = 0
    • h(π3)=∫0π/3f(t) dt−∫0π/33sin⁡3t dt+∫0π/36π dth\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \int_0^{\pi/3} f(t) \, dt - \int_0^{\pi/3} 3\sin 3t \, dt + \int_0^{\pi/3} \frac{6}{\pi} \, dt h(π3)=0−[−cos⁡3t]0π/3+6π(π3)h\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 0 - [-\cos 3t]_0^{\pi/3} + \frac{6}{\pi} \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) h(π3)=(cos⁡π−cos⁡0)+2=(−1−1)+2=0h\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = (\cos \pi - \cos 0) + 2 = (-1 - 1) + 2 = 0

Since h(0)=h(π3)=0h(0) = h\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 0, by Rolle's Theorem, there exists at least one c∈(0,π3)c \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right) such that h′(c)=0h'(c) = 0.

By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: h′(x)=f(x)−3sin⁡3x+6πh'(x) = f(x) - 3\sin 3x + \frac{6}{\pi} Thus, h′(c)=0  ⟹  f(c)−3sin⁡3c=−6πh'(c) = 0 \implies f(c) - 3\sin 3c = -\frac{6}{\pi}.

Therefore, Option (B) is TRUE.


Analysis of Option (C):

We want to evaluate the limit: L1=lim⁡x→0x∫0xf(t) dt1−ex2L_1 = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x \int_0^x f(t) \, dt}{1 - e^{x^2}}

Using the standard limit lim⁡x→01−ex2x2=−1\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1 - e^{x^2}}{x^2} = -1, we can rewrite the expression as: L1=lim⁡x→0(x21−ex2⋅∫0xf(t) dtx)L_1 = \lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{x^2}{1 - e^{x^2}} \cdot \frac{\int_0^x f(t) \, dt}{x} \right) L1=−1⋅lim⁡x→0∫0xf(t) dtxL_1 = -1 \cdot \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\int_0^x f(t) \, dt}{x}

Since ∫00f(t) dt=0\int_0^0 f(t) \, dt = 0, the remaining limit is an indeterminate form of type 00\frac{0}{0}. Applying L'Hôpital's Rule: lim⁡x→0∫0xf(t) dtx=lim⁡x→0ddx∫0xf(t) dtddx(x)=lim⁡x→0f(x)1=f(0)=1\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\int_0^x f(t) \, dt}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \int_0^x f(t) \, dt}{\frac{d}{dx} (x)} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{1} = f(0) = 1

Substitute this back into L1L_1: L1=−1⋅1=−1L_1 = -1 \cdot 1 = -1

Therefore, Option (C) is TRUE.


Analysis of Option (D):

We want to evaluate the limit: L2=lim⁡x→0sin⁡x∫0xf(t) dtx2L_2 = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x \int_0^x f(t) \, dt}{x^2}

Rewrite the limit product as: L2=(lim⁡x→0sin⁡xx)⋅(lim⁡x→0∫0xf(t) dtx)L_2 = \left( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \right) \cdot \left( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\int_0^x f(t) \, dt}{x} \right)

We know that:

  1. lim⁡x→0sin⁡xx=1\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1
  2. lim⁡x→0∫0xf(t) dtx=f(0)=1\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\int_0^x f(t) \, dt}{x} = f(0) = 1 (by L'Hôpital's Rule)

Therefore: L2=1⋅1=1≠−1L_2 = 1 \cdot 1 = 1 \neq -1

Therefore, Option (D) is FALSE.


Conclusion:

The correct statements are A, B, and C.
