Let
$$f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$$ be a differentiable function such that$$f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sqrt2,\qquad f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=0,\qquad f'\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=1$$
and let $$g(x)=\int_x^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\left(f'(t)\sec t+f(t)\sec t\tan t\right)\,dt$$ for $$x\in\left[\frac{\pi}{4},\frac{\pi}{2}\right).$$ Then $$\lim_{x\to\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^-}g(x)$$ is equal to ______.
Given,
$$g(x)=\int_x^{\pi/4}\left(f'(t)\sec t+f(t)\sec t\tan t\right)dt$$
Observe that
$$\frac{d}{dt}\left(f(t)\sec t\right)=f'(t)\sec t+f(t)\sec t\tan t$$
Hence,
$$g(x)=\left[f(t)\sec t\right]_x^{\pi/4}$$
$$=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\sec\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-f(x)\sec x$$
Using
$$f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sqrt2,\qquad \sec\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sqrt2$$
we get
$$g(x)=2-\frac{f(x)}{\cos x}$$
Now,
$$\lim_{x\to\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^-}\frac{f(x)}{\cos x}$$
is of the form $$\frac00$$ since
$$f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=0,\qquad \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=0$$
Applying L'Hospital's Rule,
$$\lim_{x\to\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^-}\frac{f(x)}{\cos x} = \lim_{x\to\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^-}\frac{f'(x)}{-\sin x}$$
Using
$$f'\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=1,\qquad \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=1$$
we get
$$\lim_{x\to\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^-}\frac{f(x)}{\cos x}=-1$$
Therefore,
$$\lim_{x\to\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^-}g(x)=2-(-1)=3$$
Hence, the correct answer is
$$\boxed{\text{Option B }:3}$$
