Solution
(5, 2)
If f(x) is continuous at x = 1, then
\[\Rightarrow \lim_{h \to 0} f\left( 1 - h \right) = 4 \left[ \because f\left( 1 \right) = 4 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow \lim_{h \to 0} a \left( 1 - h \right)^2 + b = 4 \]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( a + b \right) = 4\]
Thus, the possible values of (a, b) can be
Hence, for
