JEE MainMathematicsEasyLimits, continuity and derivability

If $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{matrix}
3x - 1,\ \ \ \ x \geq 1 \\

2x + 3,\ \ \ \ x < 1

\end{matrix},g(x) = \right.\ \left\{ \begin{matrix}

3 - x &,x < 2 \\

2x - 3 &,x \geq 2

\end{matrix}, \right.\ \ then\ \lim_{x \rightarrow 2}\mspace{2mu} f(g(x)) =$

Show answer and solution
 As x→2−⇒3−x→1+i.e. g(x)→1+\ As\ x \rightarrow 2^{-} \Rightarrow 3 - x \rightarrow 1^{+}i.e.\ g(x) \rightarrow 1^{+}
 As x→2+⇒2x−3→1+i.e. g(x)→1+\ As\ x \rightarrow 2^{+} \Rightarrow 2x - 3 \rightarrow 1^{+}i.e.\ g(x) \rightarrow 1^{+}
∴x→2⇒g(x)→1+\therefore x \rightarrow 2 \Rightarrow g(x) \rightarrow 1^{+}
lim⁡x→2\mspace2muf(g(x))=lim⁡g(x)→1+\mspace2muf(g(x))\lim_{x \rightarrow 2}\mspace{2mu} f\left( g(x) \right) = \lim_{g(x) \rightarrow 1^{+}}\mspace{2mu} f\left( g(x) \right)
=lim⁡x→1+\mspace2muf(x)= \lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{+}}\mspace{2mu} f(x)
=lim⁡x→1+\mspace2mu(3x−1)=2= \lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{+}}\mspace{2mu}(3x - 1) = 2
