Question 11 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions (A) and Reason(s) (R) have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion (A) $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\frac{3^\text{x}-2^\text{x}}{\tan\text{x}}$ is equal to $\log\big(\frac{3}{2}\big)$
Reason (R) $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow 0} \frac{\log(1+\text{x)}}{\tan\text{x}}$ is equal to 2.
  1. A is true, R is true; R is acorrect explanation of A.
  2. A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true; R is false
  4. A is false; R is true.
Answer
  1. A is true; R is false

Solution:

Assertion Given limit $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{3^\text{x}-2^\text{x}}{\tan\text{x}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{(3^\text{x}-1)-(2^\text{x}-1)}{\text{x}}\times\frac{\text{x}}{\tan\text{x}}$

$=\Big(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{3^\text{x}-1}{\text{x}}-\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{2^\text{x}-1}{\text{x}}\Big)\times\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}}{\tan\text{x}}$

$=(\log3-\log2)\times1$

$=\log\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)$

Reason $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\log(1+\text{x})}{\tan\text{x}}$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\log(1+\text{x})}{\text{x}}\times\frac{\text{x}}{\tan\text{x}}$

$=1\times1=1 $

$\text{Let} \pi - \text{x} =\text{h}, \text{As } \text{x} \rightarrow \pi, \text{then} \text{ h} \rightarrow 0 $

$\therefore\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\pi}\frac{\sin(\pi-\text{x})}{\pi(\pi-{\text{x})}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}}\frac{\sin\text{h}}{\pi\text{h}}$

$\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{1}{\pi}\Big[\because\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin\text{h}}{\text{h}}=1\Big]$
