Solution
Given, `f(x) = {{:((k cos x)/(pi - 2x)",", x ≠ pi/2),(3",", x = pi/2):}`
L.H.L, `f(x) = lim_(x -> pi^-/2) (k cos x)/(pi - 2x)`
= `lim_(h -> 0) (k cos (pi/2 - h))/(pi - 2(pi/2 - h))`
= `lim_(h -> 0) (k sin h)/(pi - pi + 2h)`
= `lim_(h -> 0) (k sin h)/(2h)`
= `l/2 * 1`
= `k/2` ......`[because lim_(h -> 0) sinh/h = 1]`
R.H.L. `f(x) = lim_(x -> pi^+/2) (k cos x)/(pi - 2x)`
= `lim_(h -> 0) (k cos (pi/2 + h))/(pi - 2(pi/2 + h))`
= `lim_(h -> 0) (-k sin h)/(pi - pi - 2h)`
= `lim_(h -> 0) (-k sin h)/(-2h)`
= `k/2` ....`[because lim_(h -> 0) sinh/h = 1]`
We are given that `lim_(x -> pi/2) f(x)` = 3
So, `k/2` = 3
⇒ k = 6
