Q.

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : limx→0(tan–1x+loge1+x1–x–2xx5)=25

Statement II : limx→1(x21-x)=1e2

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the potions given below.          [2025]

1 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  
2 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  
3 Both Statement I and Statement II are false  
4 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  

Ans.

(2)

Let L=limx→0(tan–1x+loge1+x1–x–2xx5)

=limx→0(x–x33+x55–...)+12[loge(1+x)–loge(1–x)]–2xx5

=limx→0(x–x33+x55–...)+12[x–x22+x33–.....–(–x–x22–x33–.....)]–2xx5

=limx→0x–x33+x55–...+(x+x33+x55+...)–2xx5

=limx→0(2x+2x55+...)–2xx5=25

∴   Statement I is true.

Let I=limx→1x(21–x)=limx→1eln(x2/1–x)=limx→1e2 ln x/(1–x)

Let us evaluate limx→12 ln x1–x          (00 form)

=limx→12/x–1          [Using L'Hospital rule]

= – 2

∴  I=limx→1e–2=e–2

∴   Statement II is also true.
