MCQ
If $\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x\, \to \,0} \, (x^{-3} sin 3x + ax^{-2} + b)$ exists and is equal to zero then :
  • $a = - 3\, \& \,b = 9/2$
  • B
    $a = 3\, \& \,b = 9/2$
  • C
    $a = - 3\, \& \,b = -9/2$
  • D
    $a = 3\, \& \,b = -9/2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$a = - 3\, \& \,b = 9/2$
a
$\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x \to 0} \,\,\frac{{\sin 3x}}{{{x^3}}} + \frac{a}{{{x^2}}} + b$

$=\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x\, \to \,0} $ $\frac{{\sin 3x\, + ax + b{x^3}}}{{{x^3}}}\,$

$= \mathop {Lim}\limits_{x\, \to \,0} $ $\frac{{3\,\frac{{\sin 3x}}{{3x}}\,\, + \,\,a\,\, + \,\,b{x^2}}}{{{x^2}}}\,$

for existence of limit $3 + a = 0 \Rightarrow a = - 3 $ 
$\therefore l  =$$\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x\, \to \,0} $$\frac{{\sin 3x\, - 3x\, + b{x^3}}}{{{x^3}}}\,$$= 27\,.\,\frac{{\sin t - t}}{{{t^3}}}\, + \,b\,=0$    $ (3x = t)$ 
$= - \,\frac{{27}}{6}\,\, + \,\,b\,\, = 0 \Rightarrow b = \frac{9}{2}\,$
