The correct answer is:
3/4
Given that \( f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}K \chi^{2} & x \leq 2 \\ 3 & x>2\end{array}\right. \)
Since, \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x=2 \). Then, L.H.L = R.H.L
So, \( \lim _{x \rightarrow 2} K x^{2}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} 3 \) \( \Rightarrow K \cdot 2^{2}=3 \Rightarrow K=\frac{3}{4} \)
Since, \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x=2 \). Then, L.H.L = R.H.L
So, \( \lim _{x \rightarrow 2} K x^{2}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} 3 \) \( \Rightarrow K \cdot 2^{2}=3 \Rightarrow K=\frac{3}{4} \)
