Q.

Ans.

(4)

We have,

limx→1+(x–1)(6+λcos(x–1))+μsin(1–x)(x–1)3=–1

Put x – 1 = t

⇒limt→0+t(6+λ cos t)–μ sin tt3=–1

⇒ limt→0+t[6+λ(1–t22!+...∞)]–μ[t–t33!...∞]t3=–1

Now, 6+λ–μ=0                                        ...(i)

–λ2+μ6=–1 ⇒ 3λ–μ=6                ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get λ=6, μ=12

∴  λ+μ=18.
