  • $k = e\left( {1 - \frac{1}{a}} \right)$
  • B
    $k = e(1 + a)$
  • C
    $k = e(2 - a)$
  • D
    The equality is not possible
Answer
Correct option: A.
$k = e\left( {1 - \frac{1}{a}} \right)$
a
(a) Let $f(x) = \log x\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,f'\,(x) = \frac{1}{x}$

Therefore, given function $ = f'(a) + kf'(e) = 1$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{1}{a} + \frac{k}{e} = 1\,\, $

$\Rightarrow \,\,k = e\,\left( {\frac{{a - 1}}{a}} \right)$

Aliter : Apply $ L-$ Hospital’s rule to find both the limits.

(b) We know that, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \,\frac{{{x^n} - {a^n}}}{{x - a}} = n\,\,{a^{n - 1}}$

$\therefore$ $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 5} \frac{{{x^k} - {5^k}}}{{x - 5}} = k{(5)^{k - 1}}$; 

But given, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 5} \,\frac{{{x^k} - {5^k}}}{{x - 5}} = 500$,

$\therefore$ $k{(5)^{k - 1}} = 500$; $k\,{(5)^{k - 1}} = 4\,{(5)^{4 - 1}},$

(d) $f(x) = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left\{ {\frac{{3x - {x^3}}}{{1 - 3{x^2}}}} \right\}$ and 

$g(x) = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left\{ {\frac{{1 - {x^2}}}{{1 + {x^2}}}} \right\}$

Put $x = \tan \theta $ in both equations

$f(\theta ) = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left\{ {\frac{{3\tan \theta - {{\tan }^3}\theta }}{{1 - 3{{\tan }^2}\theta }}} \right\}$$ = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left\{ {\tan 3\theta } \right\}$

$f(\theta ) = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\cot \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - 3\theta } \right) = \frac{\pi }{2} - 3\theta \Rightarrow f'(\theta ) = - 3$ .….(i)

and $g(\theta ) = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left\{ {\frac{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta }}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }}} \right\}$$ = {\cos ^{ - 1}}(\cos 2\theta ) = 2\theta $

$\Rightarrow \quad \log p =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{6}{x^2} \log \left(\frac{x}{\sin x}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \quad \log p =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{6 \log \left(\frac{x}{\sin x}\right)}{x^2}$

Apply $L-$ Hospital rule

$\log p=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}$ 

$6 \frac{\frac{\sin x}{x} \frac{(\sin x-x \cos x)}{\sin ^2 x}}{2 x}$

$\log p=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} 6 \frac{\sin x(\sin x-x \cos x)}{x \cdot 2 x \sin ^2 x}$

$\log p=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} 3 \frac{\sin x}{x} \times \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}$

$\log p=3 \times \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x-x \cos x}{x^3}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \log p=3 \times \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x-x \cos x}{x^3}$

Again apply L.Hospital's rule

$\log p=3 \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos x-\cos x+x \sin x}{3 x^2}$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} x \sin \left(e^{-x}\right) f(x)=M$
c
(c) We have,

$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=M > 0$

(a) $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} x \sin \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sin \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{\frac{1}{x}} f(x)$ $=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sin \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{\frac{1}{x}} \times \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=1 \times M=M$

Hence, option (a) is true.

(b) $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \sin (f(x))$

$\sin \left(\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)\right)=\sin M$

Option (b) is also true.

(c) $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} x \sin \left(e^{-x}\right) f(x)$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} x e^{-x} \frac{\sin \left(e^{-x}\right)}{e^{-x}} f(x)$

$=0 \times 1 \times M=0$

Hence, option (c) is false.

(d) $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sin x}{x} f(x)=0 \times M=0$

Option (d) is also true.

b
(b)

We have,

$a_n = a _1 \cdot a_2 \cdot a_3 \ldots a_{n-1}+4, a_1=5$

$a_2 =a_1+4=5+4=9$

$a_3 =a_1 a_2+4=5 \times 9+4=49$

$a_4 =a_1 a_2 a_3=5 \times 9 \times 49+4=2209$

$a_4=\left(a_3-2\right)^2=(49-2)^2=47^2=2209$

$a_3 =\left(a_2-2\right)^2=(9-2)^2=49$

$a_n =\left(a_{n-1}-2\right)^2$

$\therefore \quad \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sqrt{ a _n}}{a_{n-1}} =\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sqrt{\left(a_{n-1}-2\right)^2}}{a_{n-1}}$

  • A
    $\theta^2$
  • $\frac{\theta^2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\theta}{2}$
  • D
    $\theta$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{\theta^2}{2}$
b
(b)

We have,

$a_n=\sqrt{\frac{1+a_{n-1}}{2}}$ for $n \geq 1, a_0=\cos \theta$

$a_1=\sqrt{\frac{1+a_0}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \theta}{2}}$

$a_1=\sqrt{\frac{2 \cos ^2 \frac{\theta}{2}}{2}}=\cos \frac{\theta}{2}$

$a_2=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \frac{\theta}{2}}{2}}=\cos \frac{\theta}{2^2}$

$a_n=\cos \frac{\theta}{2^n}$

$\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} 4^n\left(1-a_n\right)$

$=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} 4^n\left(1-\cos \frac{\theta}{2^n}\right)$

$=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} 4^n\left(2 \sin ^2 \frac{\theta}{2^{n+1}}\right)$

$=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} 4^n \cdot 2\left(\frac{\sin \frac{\theta}{2^{n+1}}}{\frac{\theta}{2^{n+1}}}\right)^2 \times \frac{\theta^2}{2^{2 n+2}}$

$=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{4^n}{4^n \cdot 2}\left(\frac{\sin \frac{\theta}{2^{n+1}}}{\frac{\theta}{2^{n+1}}}\right)^2 \times \theta^2=\frac{\theta^2}{2}$

Consider all natural number whose decimal expansion has only the even digits $0,2,4,6,8$. Suppose these are arranged in increasing order. If $a _n$ denotes the $n$th number in this sequence, then $\frac{\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \log a_n}{\log n}$ equals
  • A
    $0$
  • $\log _5 10$
  • C
    $\log _2 10$
  • D
    $2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\log _5 10$
b
(b)

We have all natural numbers whose decimal expansion has only even digits $0,2,4,6,8$.

$a_n=n$th number of sequence if these are arranged in increasing orders.

Let $n=5^K$, then $5$ based representation of $n$ is a $1$ followed by $K$ zeroes,

$\therefore$ Decimal representation and doubling its value, we obtain a $2$ followed by $K$ zeroes that is $210^K$.

$\therefore \quad \log a_n=K+\log _{10} 2$

$\Rightarrow \log n =K \log _{10} 5$

$\Rightarrow \quad \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\log a_n}{\log n} =\frac{K+\log _{10} 2}{K \log _{10} 5}$

$K$ goes to infinity

$\therefore \quad \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\log a_n}{\log n}=\frac{1}{\log _{10} 5}=\log _5 10$

$\frac{\frac{n(n+1)}{2} \cdot r}{n^{2}} \leq \frac{[r]+[2 r]+\ldots . .+[n r]}{n^{2}}<\frac{\frac{n(n+1)}{2} r+n}{n^{2}}$

Now,

$\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{n(n+1) \cdot r}{2 \cdot n^{2}}=\frac{r}{2}$

and

$\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\frac{n(n+1) r}{2}+n}{n^{2}}=\frac{r}{2}$

So, by Sandwich Theorem, we can conclude that

Let $\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{r}=t$

$\sum_{r=1}^{k} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{t}{3}}{1+\frac{2}{3} t^{2}}\right)$

$\sum_{r=1}^{k} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{t-\frac{2 t}{3}}{1+t \cdot \frac{2 t}{3}}\right)$

$\sum_{ r =1}^{ k }\left(\tan ^{-1}( t )-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 t }{3}\right)\right)$

$\sum_{ r =1}^{ k }\left(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{ r }-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{ r +1}\right)$

$S _{ k }=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{ k +1}$

$S _{\infty}=\lim _{ k \rightarrow \infty}\left(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{ k +1}\right)$

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{24}}$
  • $\frac{1}{{16}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{8}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{{16}}$
c
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{2}} \frac{{\cot \,x\left( {1 - \sin \,x} \right)}}{{ - 8{{\left( {x - \frac{\pi }{2}} \right)}^3}}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{2}} \frac{{\cot \,x\left( {1 - \sin \,x} \right)}}{{8{{\left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - x} \right)}^3}}}$

Put $\frac{\pi }{2} - x = t \Rightarrow $ as $x \to \frac{\pi }{2} \Rightarrow t \to 0$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to 0} \frac{{\cot \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - t} \right)\left( {1 - \sin \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - t} \right)} \right)}}{{8{t^3}}}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to 0} \frac{{\tan \,t\left( {1 - \cos \,t} \right)}}{{8{t^3}}}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to 0} \frac{{\tan \,t}}{{8t}}.\frac{{1 - \cos t}}{{{t^2}}}$

$ = \frac{1}{8}.1.\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{{16}}$

$\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{1}{n}} \right)}^a} + {{\left( {\frac{2}{n}} \right)}^a} + ..... + {{\left( {\frac{n}{n}} \right)}^a}}}{{{{\left( {n + 1} \right)}^{a - 1}}\left[ {{n^a} + \frac{{n\left( {n + 1} \right)}}{2}} \right]}}.$

$ = \frac{{\int\limits_0^1 {{x^n}dx} }}{{\left( {a + \frac{1}{2}} \right)}} = \frac{1}{{60}} = \frac{{\frac{1}{{a + 1}}}}{{a + \frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{1}{{60}}$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{\frac{1}{{a + 1}}}}{{\left( {a + \frac{1}{2}} \right)}} = \frac{1}{{60}} \Rightarrow \left( {a + 1} \right)\left( {2a + 1} \right) = 120$

$ \Rightarrow 2{a^2} + 3a - 119 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow 2{a^2} + 17a - 14a - 119 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \left( {a - 7} \right)\left( {2a + 17} \right) = 0$

$ = \mathop {lim}\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{\sin \left( {\pi {{\sin }^2}x} \right)}}{{{x^2}}}$

$ = \mathop {lim}\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{\sin \left( {\pi {{\sin }^2}x} \right)}}{{{x^2}}}$

$f(0)=1 \text { and } \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{3}} f( t ) dt =0$

Then which of the following statements is (are) $TRUE$?

$(A)$ The equation $f( x )-3 \cos 3 x =0$ has at least one solution in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$(B)$ The equation $f( x )-3 \sin 3 x =-\frac{6}{\pi}$ has at least one solution in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$(C)$ $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x \int_0^x f(t) d t}{1- e ^{x^2}}=-1$

  • B
    $A,B,D$
  • C

  • D

Answer
Correct option: A.
$A,B,C$
a
$(A)$ Let $g(x)=f(x)-3 \cos 3 x$

Now $\int_0^{\pi / 3} g(x) d x=\int_0^{\pi / 3} f(x) d x-3 \int_0^{\pi / 3} \cos 3 x d x=0$

Hence $g ( x )=0$ has a root in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$(B)$ Let $h ( x )=f( x )-3 \sin 3 x +\frac{6}{\pi}$

Now $\int_0^{\pi / 3} h(x) d x=\int_0^{\pi / 3} f(x) d x-3 \int_0^{\pi / 3} \sin 3 x d x+\int_0^{\pi / 3} \frac{6}{\pi} d x$ $=0-2+2=0$

Hence $h(x)=0$ has a root in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$(C)$ $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x \int_0^x f(t) d t}{1- e ^{x^2}}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \underbrace{\left.\frac{x^2}{1-e^{x^2}}\right)}_{-1} \underbrace{\frac{\int_0^x f(t) d t}{x}}_{\text {Apply }}$

$=-1 \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{f( x )}{1}=-1$

$(D)$ $\lim _{ x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(\sin x ) \int_0 f( t ) dt }{ x ^2}$

$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \underbrace{\left(\frac{\sin x}{x}\right)}_1\underbrace{\frac{\int_0^x f(t) d t}{x}}_{\text {Apply }}$

$=1 \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x)}{1}=1$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x^3\left(\beta-\frac{\beta^3 x^2}{3!}+\ldots\right)}{(\alpha-1) x+\frac{x^3}{3!}-\ldots}=1$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x^2\left(\beta-\frac{\beta^3 x^2}{3!}+\ldots\right)}{(\alpha-1)+\frac{x^2}{3!}-\ldots}=1$

We have,

$f(x)=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left\{\frac{n^n(x+n)\left(x+\frac{n}{2}\right) \ldots\left(x+\frac{n}{2}\right)}{n!\left(x^2+n^2\right)\left(x^2+\frac{n^2}{4}\right) \ldots\left(x^2+\frac{n^2}{n^2}\right)}\right\}$

$\Rightarrow \log f(x)=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x}{n} \log \left\{\prod_{r=1}^n \frac{\left(x+\frac{n}{r}\right)}{\left(x^2+\frac{n^2}{r^2}\right)} \cdot \frac{n}{r}\right\}$

$\Rightarrow \log f(x)=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x}{2} \sum_{r=1}^n \log \left\{\left(\frac{x+\frac{n}{r}}{x^2+\frac{n^2}{r^2}}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{r}{n}}\right\}$

$\Rightarrow \log f(x)=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x}{n} \sum_{r=1}^n \log \left\{\frac{1+\frac{r}{n} x}{1+\left(\frac{r}{n} x\right)^2}\right\}$

$\Rightarrow \log f(x)=x \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{r=1}^n \log \left\{\frac{1+\frac{r}{n} x}{1+\left(\frac{r}{n} x\right)^2}\right\} \frac{1}{n}$

$\Rightarrow \log f(x)=x \int_0^1 \log \left\{\frac{1+t x}{1+(t x)^2}\right\} d t$

$\Rightarrow \log f(x)=\int_0^x \log \left(\frac{1+u}{1+u^2}\right) d u \text {, where } u=t tx$

$\Rightarrow \frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}=\log \left(\frac{1+x}{1+x^2}\right)$

We observe that $f(x)>0$ for all $a>0$.

Also,

$\log \left(\frac{1+x}{1+x^2}\right) > 0 \Leftrightarrow \frac{1+x}{1+x^2} > 1 \Leftrightarrow x>x^2 \Leftrightarrow 0$

$ < x < 1$

$\therefore \frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}>0 \text { for } 0

$ < 0 \text { for } x > 1$

$\Rightarrow f(x)$ is increasing on $(0,1)$ and decreasing on $(1, \infty)$.

$\Rightarrow f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \leq f(1) \text { and } f\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \leq f\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$

So option$(b)$ is correct and option $(a)$ is incorrect.

From$(ii)$, we obtain

$f^{\prime}(2) < 0$. So,option $(c)$ is correct.

From$(i)$, we obtain

$\frac{f^{\prime}(3)}{f(3)}-\frac{f^{\prime}(2)}{f(2)}=\frac{\log (4)}{10}-\frac{\log (3)}{5}=\log \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) < 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{f^{\prime}(3)}{f(3)} < \frac{f^{\prime}(2)}{f(2)} \text {. So, option (d) is not correct. }$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left\{\frac{-a x+\sin (x-1)+a}{x+\sin (x-1)-1}\right\}^{\frac{1-x}{1-\sqrt{x}}}=\frac{1}{4} $

$\Rightarrow \quad \lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left\{\frac{-a x+\sin (x-1)+a}{x+\sin (x-1)-1}\right\}^{x+\sqrt{x}}=\frac{1}{4}$

Hence $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left\{\frac{-a x+\sin (x-1)+a}{(x-1)+\sin (x-1)}\right\}^{1+\sqrt{x}}=\frac{1}{4}$

put $x=1+h$,

$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{\frac{-a h+\sin h}{h+\sinh }\right\}^{1+\sqrt{1+h}}=\frac{1}{4}$

or $\quad \frac{- a +1}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \quad$ or $-\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \quad a =0$ or $2$

But at $a = 2 , \frac{-a h+\sinh }{h+\sinh }$ tends to negative value

Let $p(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $4$ having extremum at $x=1,2$ and $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(1+\frac{p(x)}{x^2}\right)=2 .$ Then the value of $p(2)$ is
  • A
    $5$
  • $0$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $9$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$0$
b
Let $P ( x )= ax ^4+ bx ^3+ cx ^2+ dx + e$

When $x \rightarrow o$ then, for existence of $\frac{P(x)}{x^2} d=e=o$ and $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(1+\frac{P(x)}{x^2}\right)=2$

So $c=1$.

$P^{\prime}(1)=P^{\prime}(2)=0$

$4 a+3 b+2 c+d=0$

$4 a+3 b+2=0 \quad \ldots \ldots \ldots . \text { eq. } 1$

$4 a \cdot 8+3 b \cdot 4+2 c \cdot 2+d=0$

$32 a+12 b+4 c+d=0$

$32 a+12 b+4=0 \quad \ldots \ldots . \text { eq. }$

By solving eq. $1$ and eq. $2$ we get $a =\frac{1}{4} ; b =-1$

So, $P ( x )=\frac{1}{4} x ^4- x ^3+ x ^2$.

$P (2)=4-8+4=0$

$ = \frac{1}{2}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{{e^x} + \sin x}}{{(n - 2){x^{n - 3}}}}$.

So, if $n = 3,$ the limit is $\frac{1}{{2(n - 2)}}$ which is finite.

If $n = 4,$ the limit is infinite.

    $(-1, 1)$
  • $(1, -1)$
  • D
    $(0, 1)$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$(1, -1)$
c
(c) $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \left( {\frac{{{x^2} + 1}}{{x + 1}} - 2x - \beta } \right) = 0$

==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{{{x^2}(1 - \alpha ) - x(\alpha + \beta ) + 1 - b}}{{x + 1}} = 0$

Since the limit of the given expression is zero, therefore degree of the polynomial in numerator must be less than denominator.

$\therefore$ $1 - \alpha = 0$ and $\alpha + \beta = 0$

==> $\alpha = 1$ and $\beta = - 1$.

Answer
Correct option: C.
$ - \frac{5}{2},\; - \frac{3}{2}$
c
(c) $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\,\frac{{x\,(1 + a\cos x) - b\,\sin x}}{{{x^3}}} = 1$

==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\frac{{x\left\{ {1 + a\,\left( {1 - \frac{{{x^2}}}{{2\,\,!}} + \frac{{{x^4}}}{{4\,\,!}} - \frac{{{x^6}}}{{6\,\,!}} + ...} \right)} \right\} - b\,\left\{ {x - \frac{{{x^3}}}{{3\,\,!}} + \frac{{{x^5}}}{{5\,\,!}} - ...} \right\}}}{{{x^3}}} = 1$

==>$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\frac{{(1 + a - b) + {x^2}\,\left( {\frac{b}{{3\,\,!}} - \frac{a}{{2\,\,!}}} \right) + {x^4}\left( {\frac{a}{{4\,\,!}} - \frac{b}{{5\,\,!}}} \right) + ...}}{{{x^2}}} = 1$ .....$(i)$

If $1 + a - b \ne 0,$ then $L.H.S.$ $ \to \infty $ as $x \to 0$ while $R.H.S. =1,$ 

therefore $1 + a - b = 0.$

Now from $(i),$ $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\frac{{{x^2}\left( {\frac{b}{{3\,\,!}} - \frac{a}{{2\,\,!}}} \right) + {x^4}\,\left( {\frac{a}{{4\,\,!}} - \frac{b}{{5\,\,!}}} \right) + ...}}{{{x^2}}} = 1$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{b}{{3\,!}} - \frac{a}{{2\,\,!}} = 1\, \Rightarrow \,\,b - 3a = 6$. 

Solving $1 + a - b = 0$ and $b - 3a = 6,$ we get $a = - 5/2,\,\,b = - 3/2$.

If ${x_1} = 3$ and $x > 0$ then $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {x_n}$ is equal to
  • A
    $-1$
  • $2$
  • C
    $\sqrt 5 $
  • D
    $3$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$2$
b
(b) We have ${x_1} = 3,\,\,{x_{n + 1}} = \sqrt {2 + {x_n}} $

${x_2} = \sqrt {2 + {x_1}} = \sqrt {2 + 3} = \sqrt 5 $, $\,{x_3} = \sqrt {2 + {x_2}} = \sqrt {2 + \sqrt 5 } $

$\therefore \,\,\,{x_1} > {x_2} > {x_3}$

It can be easily shown by mathematical induction that the sequence ${x_1},\,\,{x_2},........{x_n},....$ is a monotonically decreasing sequence bounded below by $2$.

So it is convergent. Let $\lim {x_n} = x.$ Then

${x_{n + 1}} = \sqrt {2 + {x_n}} \, \Rightarrow \,\,\lim {x_{n + 1}} = \sqrt {2 + \lim {x_n}} $$ \Rightarrow \,x = \sqrt {2 + x} $

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{x^2} - x - 2 = 0\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,(x - 2)\,(x + 1) = 0\, \Rightarrow \,x = 2$

$\Rightarrow \,\,y = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \pi /2} \,\,\frac{{\left[ {\frac{{{t^2}}}{2}} \right]_{\pi /2}^x}}{{\sin \,(2x - \pi )}}$

$y = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \pi /2} \,\,\frac{{\left( {\frac{{{x^2}}}{2} - \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{8}} \right)}}{{\sin \,(2x - \pi )}}\,\, $

$\Rightarrow \,\,y = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \pi /2} \,\,\frac{1}{8}\frac{{(4{x^2} - {\pi ^2})}}{{\sin \,(2x - \pi )}}\,\,$

$y = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \pi /2} \,\,\frac{1}{8}\frac{{(2x - \pi )\,\,(2x + \pi )}}{{\sin \,(2x - \pi )}}$

$y = \frac{1}{8}\,\,\frac{{\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \pi /2} \,(2x + \pi )}}{{\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \pi /2} \,\,\frac{{\sin \,(2x - \pi )}}{{\,(2x - \pi )}}}}$,

$\left( {\because \,\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\theta  \to 0} \,\,\frac{\theta }{{\sin \theta }} = 1} \right)$

c
(c) $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}{x^2} - 3,\,\,2 < x < 3\\2x + 5,\,3 < x < 4\end{array} \right.$

$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} ({x^2} - 3) = 6$

and $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ + }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ + }} (2x + 5) = 11$

  • A
    $-\frac {53}{3}$
  • $\frac {53}{3}$
  • C
    $-\frac {55}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac {55}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac {53}{3}$
b
Let $f'\left( x \right) = 3{x^{10}} - 7{x^8} + 5{x^6} - 21{x^3} + 3{x^2} - 7$

$f'\left( x \right) = 30{x^9} - 56{x^7} + 30{x^5} - 63{x^2} + 6x$

$f'\left( 1 \right) = 30 - 56 + 30 + 63 + 6$

         $ = 66 - 63 - 56 =  - 53$

Consider $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\alpha  \to 0} \frac{{f\left( {1 - \alpha } \right)-f\left( 1 \right)}}{{{\alpha ^3} + 3\alpha }}$

$\, = \,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\alpha  \to 0} \frac{{f'\left( {1 - \alpha } \right)\left( { - 1} \right) - 0}}{{3{\alpha ^3} + 3}}$      (By using $L'$ hosspital rule)

$ = \frac{{f'\left( {1 - 0} \right)\left( { - 1} \right) - 0}}{{3{{\left( 0 \right)}^3} + 3}} = \frac{{ - f'\left( 1 \right)}}{3} = \frac{{53}}{3}$

d
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 2} \frac{{\sqrt {1 - \cos \{ 2(x - 2)\} } }}{{x - 2}}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 2} \frac{{\sqrt 2 |\sin (x - 2)|}}{{x - 2}}$

$R.H.L. = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {2^ - }} \frac{{\sqrt 2 \sin (x - 2)}}{{(x - 2)}} =  - \sqrt 2 $

$R.H.L. = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {2^ + }} \frac{{\sqrt 2 \sin (x - 2)}}{{(x - 2)}} =  - \sqrt 2 $

Thus $L . H . L . \neq R . H . L$

Hence, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 2} \frac{{\sqrt {1 - \cos \{ 2(x - 2)\} } }}{{x - 2}}$ does not exist.

Since, $f(x)$ is a positive increasing function,

$\Rightarrow$    $0 < f\left( x \right) < f\left( {2x} \right) < f\left( {3x} \right)$

$\Rightarrow$  $0<1<\frac{f(2 x)}{f(x)}<\frac{f(3 x)}{f(x)}$

$\Rightarrow$  $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } 1 \le \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{{f(2x)}}{{f(x)}} \le \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{{f(3x)}}{{f(x)}}$

By Sandwich theorem,

If $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } {\left( {1 + \frac{a}{x} + \frac{b}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^{2x}} = {e^2},$ then the values of $a$ and $b$ are
  • A
    $a = 1,\;b = 2$
  • $a = 1,\;b \in R$
  • C
    $a \in R,\;b = 2$
  • D
    $a \in R,\;b \in R$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$a = 1,\;b \in R$
b
(b) Since, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \left( {1 + \frac{a}{x} + \frac{b}{{{x^2}}}} \right) = {e^2}$

$\therefore$ $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } {\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{{ax + b}}{{{x^2}}}} \right)}^{\frac{{{x^2}}}{{ax + b}}}}} \right]^{\frac{{2(ax + b)}}{x}}} = {e^2}$

==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } {e^{\frac{{2(ax + b)}}{x}}} = {e^2} $

$\Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{{2(ax + b)}}{x} = 2$==> $2a = 2 \Rightarrow a = 1$

Thus $a = 1$ and $b \in R$.

We have, $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{f(a) g(x)-f(a)-g(a) f(x)+g(a)}{g(x)-f(x)}=4$

$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{f(a) g^{\prime}(x)-0-g(a) f^{\prime}(x)+0}{g^{\prime}(x)-f^{\prime}(x)}=4$

$\Rightarrow \frac{f(a) g^{\prime}(a)-g(a) f^{\prime}(a)}{g^{\prime}(a)-f^{\prime}(a)}=4 \quad[\text { Using L'Hospital's Rule }]$

$\Rightarrow \frac{k\left\{g^{\prime}(a)-f^{\prime}(a)\right\}}{\left\{g^{\prime}(a)-f^{\prime}(a)\right\}}=4 \quad[\because f(a)=g(a)=k]$

  • B
    $0, 1$
  • C
    $1, 7/5$
  • D
    none
Answer
Correct option: A.
$1/5, 7/5$
a
$\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x \to  - \,\,\infty } $$\left( {{x^{5c}}{{\left( {1 + \frac{7}{x}\,\, + \frac{2}{{{x^5}}}} \right)}^c}\,\, - \,\,x} \right) =$

$\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x \to  - \,\,\infty } $$x\,\,\left( {{x^{5c - 1}}{{\left( {1 + \frac{7}{x}\,\, + \frac{2}{{{x^5}}}} \right)}^c}\,\, - \,\,1} \right)$
This will be of the form $\infty \times 0$ only if 
$5c - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow c = 1/ 5 $ substituting $c = 1/5 , \,l$ becomes 
Hence $l =\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x \to  - \,\,\infty } $$x\left[ {{{\left( {1 + X} \right)}^{1/5}}\,\,\, - \,\,1} \right]$ where $X\,\, = \,\,\frac{7}{x}\,\, + \,\frac{2}{{{x^5}}}$ 
=$\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x \to  - \,\,\infty } $$x\left[ {{{\left( {1 + X} \right)}^{1/5}}\,\,\, - \,\,1} \right]   $

$= \mathop {Lim}\limits_{x \to  - \,\,\infty } $$x\,\left( {\frac{7}{x}\,\, + \,\frac{2}{{{x^5}}}} \right)\,\,.\,\,\frac{1}{5}     =$$\frac{7}{5}$ 
Hence $c =\frac{1}{5}$ and $l =\frac{7}{5}$

Which one of the following best represents the graph of the function $f(x) =\mathop {Lim}\limits_{n \to \infty } \,\,\frac{2}{\pi }\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {nx} \right)$

  • B

  • C

  • D

Answer
Correct option: A.

a
Total 50 517.3

If $x>0$ then $n x$ tends to infinite and $\tan ^{-1} \infty=\pi / 2$

So lim tends to $1 .$

If $x=0$ then $n x$ becomes 0 and $\tan ^{-1} 0=0$

so, lim becomes 0.

If $x<0$ then $n x$ tends to negative infinite and $\tan ^{-1}-\infty=-\pi / 2$

So lim tends to -1 .

$ABC$ is an isosceles triangle inscribed in a circle of radius $r$ . If $AB = AC $ $\& h$ is the altitude from $A$ to $BC$ and $P$ be the perimeter of $ABC$ then $\mathop {lim}\limits_{h \to 0} $ $\frac{\Delta }{{{P^3}}}$ equals (where $\Delta$ is the area of the triangle)
  • A
    $\frac{1}{{32r}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{64r}}$
  • $\frac{1}{{128r}}$
  • D
    none
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{{128r}}$
c
$AB =$ $\sqrt {{{\not h}^2}\, + 2rh - {{\not h}^2}} \,$   = $\,\sqrt {2rh} \,$

$P =$ $2\,\sqrt {2rh} \,$ + $2\,\sqrt {2rh\,\, - \,\,{h^2}} \,\,$ 

$P =$ $2\,\left[ {\sqrt {2rh} \,\, + \,\,\,\sqrt {2rh\,\, - \,\,{h^2}} \,\,} \right]$ 

$\Delta =$ $\frac{{\not 2\,\sqrt {2rh\,\, - \,\,{h^2}} \,\,.\,h}}{{\not 2}}\,$ =$h\,\,\sqrt {2rh\,\, - \,\,{h^2}} $  

$\therefore \,\mathop {Limit}\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{\Delta }{{{p^3}}}\,$

= $\mathop {Limit}\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{h\sqrt {2rh - {h^2}} }}{{8{{\left[ {\sqrt {2rh} \,\, - \,\,\sqrt {2rh - {h^2}} } \right]}^3}}}$

 = $\,\mathop {Limit}\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{{h^{3/2}}\sqrt {2r - h} }}{{8\,{h^{3/2}}{{\left[ {\sqrt {2r} \,\, - \,\,\sqrt {2r - h} } \right]}^3}}}$ 

=$\frac{{\sqrt {2r} }}{{8\,.\,8\,(2r)\,{{(2r)}^{1/2}}}}\,\, = \,\,\frac{1}{{128r}}\,\,$  

Alternative: Note that as $h \Rightarrow 0$ , $b =\,\frac{a}{2}\,$ or $2b = a$ 

Hence $\frac{\Delta }{{{p^3}}}\,$ =$\frac{{ab\,(b)}}{{4R.\,{{(a\, + \,2b)}^3}}}\,$ (using $R$ =$\frac{{abc}}{{4\Delta }}\,$ ) 

=$\frac{{2{b^3}}}{{4R\,\,64\,{b^3}}}\,$ =$\frac{1}{{128\,\,R}}$ $ \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,(C)$

  • $(B)$ or $(C)$ both
Answer
Correct option: D.
$(B)$ or $(C)$ both
d
Option $A: f(x)=[[x]]-[2 x-1],$ at $c=3$

Let's check right hand limit at $c=3$

$x=3+h$

$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(3+h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}[[3+h]]-[2(3+h)-1]=4-6=-2$

Let's check Left hand limit at $c=3$

$x=3-h$

$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(3-h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}[[3-h]]-[2(3-h)-1]=3-5=-2$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} f(x)$ does exist.

 

Option $B : f(x)=[x]-x$ at $c=1$

Let's check right hand limit at $c=1$

$x=1+h$

$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1+h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}[1+h]-(1+h)=1-1=0$

Let's check Left hand limit at $c=1$

$x=1-h$

$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1-h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}[1-h]-(1-h)=0-1=-1$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)$ does not exist.

 

Option $C : f( x )=\left( x ^{2}\right)-(- x )^{2},$ at $c =0$

Let's check right hand limit at $c=0$ $x=0+h$

$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0+h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(h)^{2}--h^{2}=0-1=-1$

Let's check Left hand limit at $c=0$

$x=0-h$

$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0-h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(-h)^{2}-h^{2}=0-0=0$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)$ does exist.

Hence, Option $B$ and $C$.

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\tan ^{2} x}{x^{2}-[x]^{2}}$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\tan ^{2} x}{x^{2}\left(1-\frac{[x]^{2}}{x^{2}}\right)}$

$\operatorname{since,\operatorname{lim}_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\operatorname{tan}x}{x}=1\text{and}\operatorname{lim}_{x\rightarrow0^{+}}[x]=0}$

$\operatorname{Hence,} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=1$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \sqrt{\{x\} \cot \{x\}}$

$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \sqrt{(x-[x]) \cot (x-[x])}$

$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \sqrt{(x+1) \cot (x+1)}$

$=\sqrt{\cot 1}$

$\left(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)\right)^{2}=\cot 1$

  • $(B)$ or $(C)$ both
Answer
Correct option: D.
$(B)$ or $(C)$ both
d
$f(x)=\frac{\frac{2^{x}-1}{2 \sin ^{2} \frac{x}{2}}}{x}$

$=\frac{2^{x}-1}{\frac{x}{4} \cdot \frac{2 \sin ^{2} \frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x^{2}}{4}}}$

$=\frac{2^{x}-1}{\frac{x}{2} \cdot \frac{\sin ^{2} \frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x^{2}}{4}}}$

As $x \rightarrow 0$

$f(x)=2 \ln (2)$

$=\ln (4)$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=\ln 4$

a) $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} x \overline{4} \sin \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}(0 \times \infty$ form $)$

Rearranging the above expression and using L'Hospital Rule in $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\left(\begin{array}{c}\sin \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \\ \frac{-1}{x}\end{array}\right) \Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{\cos \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right) x^{\frac{-3}{2}}}{\left(\frac{-1}{4} x^{\frac{-5}{4}}\right)}=0\right.$

b) $\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}}(1-\sin x) \tan x(0 \times \infty$ form $)$

Rearranging and applying L'Hospital Rule $\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1-\sin x}{\cot x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{-\cos x}{-\csc ^{2} x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \cos x \sin ^{2} x=0$

c) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} \frac{[x]^{2}-9}{x^{2}-9}$

Applying L'Hospital Rule $\left(\frac{0}{0}\right)$ form

The derivative of $[x]$ at $x \rightarrow 3^{+}$ will be 0

Thus, $\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} \frac{0}{2 x}=0$

But:

$\cos ^{\frac{3}{x^{2}}}(2 x)=e^{\frac{3}{x^{2}} \ln |\cos (2 x)|}$ (have a look at the properties of logarithms)

and:

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} e^{\frac{3}{x^{2}} \ln [\cos (2 x) \mid}=e^{-6}$

The exponent $\frac{3}{x^{2}} \ln [\cos (2 x)]$ tends to -6

For any $n$ numbers $a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n}>0,$ we have

$\lim _{p \rightarrow+\infty}\left(a_{1}^{p}+a_{2}^{p}+\ldots+a_{n}^{p}\right)^{1 / p} =\max \left\{a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n}\right\}$

$\lim _{p \rightarrow \infty}\left(a_{1}^{p}+a_{2}^{p}+\ldots+a_{n}^{p}\right)^{1 / p} =\min \left\{a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n}\right\}$

I will only justify $(* 1 a)$. Relabeling the numbers if necessary, we only need to study the case $00,$ we have

$a_{n}=\left(a_{n}^{p}\right)^{1 / p} \leq\left(a_{1}^{p}+\ldots+a_{n}^{p}\right)^{1 / p} \leq\left(a_{n}^{p}+\ldots+a_{n}^{p}\right)^{1 / p}=n^{1 / p} a_{n}$

since $\lim _{p \rightarrow+\infty} n^{1 / p}=1,$ by squeezing, $(* 1 a)$ follows.

Apply this to the case $\left(a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n}\right)=(1, \ldots, n)$ and notice as $x \rightarrow 0, \frac{1}{\sin ^{2} x} \rightarrow+\infty,$ we get

$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\left(1^{1 / \sin ^{2} x}+\ldots+n^{1 / \sin ^{2} x}\right)^{\sin ^{2} x}=\max \{1, \ldots, n\}=n$

  • B
    $e^2 -8$
  • C
    $e^2 -6$
  • D
    $7$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$e^2 -7$
a
As $\left\{(1+x)^{\frac{2}{x}}\right\}=(1+x)^{\frac{2}{x}}-\left[(1+x)^{\frac{2}{x}}\right]$

And $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}(1+x)^{\frac{2}{x}}=\exp \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{2}{x} \log (1+x)\right)=\exp \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{2 \frac{1}{1+x}}{1}\right)=e^{2}$

since$\left[\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)^{g(x)}=e^{\left(\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} g(x) \cdot \ln f(x)\right)}\right]$

$\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left\{(1+x)^{\frac{2}{x}}\right\}=e^{2}-\left[e^{2}\right]=e^{2}-7$
