Given function is continuous and f(1)>0\\

Now take a=1 in the given expression  f(a) f\left(\frac{1}{a}\right)=f(a)+f\left(\frac{1}{a}\right)

\begin{aligned} & f(1) f\left(\frac{1}{1}\right)=f(1)+f\left(\frac{1}{1}\right) \\ & (f(1))^2=2 f(1) \end{aligned}

By solving the above equation, the value of f(1) can be either 0 or 2

Since  f(1)>0\\  then here the value of the function should be 2 , 

So, f(1)=2

Hence,   \lim _{a \rightarrow 1} f(a)=2
