Let $f$ be any function defined on $R$ and let it satisfy the condition

$|f( x )-f( y )| \leq\left|( x - y )^{2}\right|, \forall( x , y ) \in R$ If $f(0)=1,$ then

A

$f(x)$ can take any value in $R$

B

$f(x)< 0, \forall \,x \in R$

C

$f( x )=0, \forall \, x \in R$

D

$f( x )>0, \forall \, x \in R$

Solution

$\left|\frac{f(x)-f(y)}{(x-y)}\right| \leq|(x-y)|$

$x-y=h$ let $\Rightarrow x=y+h$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left|\frac{f(y+h)-f(y)}{h}\right| \leq 0$

$\Rightarrow\left|f^{\prime}( y )\right| \leq 0 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}( y )=0$

$\Rightarrow f( y )= k ($ constant $)$

and $f(0)=1$ given

So, $f(y)=1 \Rightarrow f(x)=1$
