Options

A. 2
B. 2
C. 3
D. `1/4`

Explanation

To determine the value of \( a \) such that the function

\[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1 - \sqrt{2} \sin x}{\pi - 4x} & \text{if } x \neq \frac{\pi}{4} \\ a & \text{if } x = \frac{\pi}{4} \end{cases} \]

is continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \), we need to ensure that

\[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} f(x) = f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = a. \]

### Step 1: Calculate the limit as \( x \) approaches \( \frac{\pi}{4} \)

We start by calculating the limit:

\[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} f(x) = \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{1 - \sqrt{2} \sin x}{\pi - 4x}. \]

### Step 2: Substitute \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \)

Substituting \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \) directly into the limit gives:

\[ 1 - \sqrt{2} \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 - \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 1 - 1 = 0, \]

and

\[ \pi - 4\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \pi - \pi = 0. \]

This results in the indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \).

### Step 3: Apply L'Hôpital's Rule

Since we have the indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \), we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule, which states that we can take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator.

The derivative of the numerator \( 1 - \sqrt{2} \sin x \) is:

\[ -\sqrt{2} \cos x, \]

and the derivative of the denominator \( \pi - 4x \) is:

\[ -4. \]

Thus, we can rewrite the limit as:

\[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{-\sqrt{2} \cos x}{-4} = \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sqrt{2} \cos x}{4}. \]

### Step 4: Evaluate the limit

Now we substitute \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \):

\[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}. \]

So we have:

\[ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{4} = \frac{1}{4}. \]

### Step 5: Set the limit equal to \( a \)

Since the function is continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \), we set:

\[ a = \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{4}} f(x) = \frac{1}{4}. \]

### Conclusion

Thus, the value of \( a \) is

\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{4}}. \]
