Given, $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{a x^{2} e^{x} - b \log_{e} (1 + x) + c x e^{- x}}{x^{2} \sin x} = 1$

$\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{a x^{2} (1 + \frac{x}{1!} + \frac{x^{2}}{2!} + \dots) - b (x - \frac{x^{2}}{2} + \frac{x^{3}}{3} \dots) + c x (1 - \frac{x}{1!} + \frac{x^{2}}{2!} \dots)}{x^{2} (x - \frac{x^{3}}{3!} + \frac{x^{5}}{5!} \dots)} = 1$

$\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to 0} (a x^{2} + a x^{3} + \frac{a x^{4}}{2!} + \dots) - b x + \frac{b x^{2}}{2} - \frac{b x^{3}}{3} \dots + c x - c x^{2} + \frac{c x^{3}}{2!} \dots = \lim_{x \to 0} x^{3} - \frac{x^{5}}{3!} + \frac{x^{7}}{5!} \dots$

Comparing the coefficient of $x^{3},$ we get

$a - \frac{b}{3} + \frac{c}{2} = 1$ ...(i)

Comparing the coefficient of $x^{2},$ we get

$a + \frac{b}{2} - c = 0$ ...(ii)

Comparing the coefficient of $x,$ we get

$- b + c = 0$ ...(iii)

On solving (i), (ii) and (iii), we get

$a = \frac{3}{4}, b = c = \frac{3}{2}$

$∴ 16 (a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}) = 16 [\frac{9}{16} + \frac{9}{4} + \frac{9}{4}] = 16 [\frac{9 + 36 + 36}{16}] = 81$

Q 12 :
For $α, β, γ \in R$ , if $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^{2} \sin α x + (γ - 1) e^{x^{2}}}{\sin 2 x - β x} = 3$ , then $β + γ - α$ is equal to: [2025]

As, $x \to 0 \Rightarrow \sin 2 x - β x \to 0$

To make the given limit in $\frac{0}{0}$ form; $(γ - 1) e^{0} + 0 \sin (α 0) = 0$

$\Rightarrow (γ - 1) = 0 \Rightarrow γ = 1$

So, $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^{2} \sin (α x)}{(\sin 2 x - β x)} = 3$

$\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^{2} [α x - \frac{{(α x)}^{3}}{3!} + \frac{{(α x)}^{5}}{5!} - . . . . .]}{[2 x - \frac{{(2 x)}^{3}}{3!} + \frac{{(2 x)}^{5}}{5!} - . . . . .] - β x} = 3$

$\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{α x^{3} - \frac{α^{3} x^{5}}{3!} + \frac{α^{5} x^{7}}{5!} - . . . . .}{x (2 - β) - \frac{8 x^{3}}{6} + \frac{2^{5} \cdot x^{5}}{5!} - . . . . .} = 3$

$\Rightarrow 2 - β = 0 and \frac{α}{\frac{- 8}{6}} = 3$

$\Rightarrow β = 2 and α = 3 (- \frac{8}{6}) = - 4$

$∴ β + γ - α = 2 + 1 - (- 4) = 7$ .

Q 13 :
If $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos (2 x) + a \cos (4 x) - b}{x^{4}}$ is finite, then (a + b) is equal to : [2025]

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos 2 x + a \cos 4 x - b}{x^{4}}$

$= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(1 - \frac{{(2 x)}^{2}}{2!} + \frac{{(2 x)}^{4}}{4!} . . .) + a (1 - \frac{{(4 x)}^{2}}{2!} + \frac{{(4 x)}^{4}}{4!} . . .) - b}{x^{4}}$

$= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(1 + a - b) + (- 2 - 8 a) x^{2} + (\frac{2}{3} + \frac{32}{3} a) x^{4} + . . . . . Higher power of x .}{x^{4}}$

Since limit is finite so, we have

1 + a – b = 0 and – 2 – 8a = 0

$\Rightarrow a = - \frac{1}{4} and b = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

$∴ a + b = \frac{- 1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$

Q 14 :
If $\lim_{x \to 1^{+}} \frac{(x - 1) (6 + λ \cos (x - 1)) + μ \sin (1 - x)}{{(x - 1)}^{3}} = - 1$ , where $λ, μ \in R$ , then $λ + μ$ is equal to [2025]

We have,

$\lim_{x \to 1^{+}} \frac{(x - 1) (6 + λ \cos (x - 1)) + μ \sin (1 - x)}{{(x - 1)}^{3}} = - 1$

Put x – 1 = t

$\Rightarrow \lim_{t \to 0^{+}} \frac{t (6 + λ \cos t) - μ \sin t}{t^{3}} = - 1$

$\Rightarrow \lim_{t \to 0^{+}} \frac{t [6 + λ (1 - \frac{t^{2}}{2!} + . . . \infty)] - μ [t - \frac{t^{3}}{3!} . . . \infty]}{t^{3}} = - 1$

Now, $6 + λ - μ = 0$ ...(i)

$\frac{- λ}{2} + \frac{μ}{6} = - 1 \Rightarrow 3 λ - μ = 6$ ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get $λ = 6$ , $μ = 12$

$∴ λ + μ = 18$ .

Q 15 :
Let f be a differentiable function on R such that $f (2) = 1, f' (2) = 4$ . Let $\lim_{x \to 0} (f {(2 + x))}^{3 / x} = e^{α}$ . Then the number of times the curve $y = 4 x^{3} - 4 x^{2} - 4 (α - 7) x - α$ meets x-axis is : [2025]

Given, $\lim_{x \to 0} (f {(2 + x))}^{3 / x} = e^{α}$

$\Rightarrow e^{\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{3}{x} (f (2 + x) - 1)} = e^{α}$ ( $1^{\infty}$ form)

$\Rightarrow e^{\lim_{x \to 0} 3 f' (2 + x)} = e^{α}$

$\Rightarrow e^{3 f' (2)} = e^{α} \Rightarrow e^{12} = e^{α}$

So, $α = 12$

Now, $y = 4 x^{3} - 4 x^{2} - 4 (α - 7) x - α$

$= 4 x^{3} - 4 x^{2} - 20 x - 12$

$= 4 {(x + 1)}^{2} (x - 3)$

$∴$ Roots are –1, –1 and 3

So, the curve $y = 4 x^{3} - 4 x^{2} - 20 x - 12$ . The curve meets x-axis at 2 points.

Q 16 :
$\lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac{\tan (5 {(x)}^{\frac{1}{3}}) \log_{e} (1 + 3 x^{2})}{{(\tan^{- 1} 3 \sqrt{x})}^{2} (e^{5 {(x)}^{\frac{4}{3}}} - 1)}$ is equal to [2025]

$\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac{\frac{\tan (5 {(x)}^{\frac{1}{3}}) \log_{e} (1 + 3 x^{2})}{3 x^{2} \times 5 {(x)}^{\frac{1}{3}}} (3 x^{2}) 5 {(x)}^{\frac{1}{3}}}{\frac{{(\tan^{- 1} (3 \sqrt{x}))}^{2}}{{(3 \sqrt{x})}^{2}} \frac{(e^{5 x^{\frac{4}{3}}} - 1)}{5 x^{\frac{4}{3}}} \times 9 x \times 5 x^{\frac{4}{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac{\frac{\tan (5 {(x)}^{\frac{1}{3}})}{5 {(x)}^{\frac{1}{3}}} \frac{\log_{e} (1 + 3 x^{2})}{3 x^{2}} \times 15 x^{\frac{7}{3}}}{\frac{{(\tan^{- 1} (3 \sqrt{x}))}^{2}}{{(3 \sqrt{x})}^{2}} \frac{(e^{5 {(x)}^{\frac{4}{3}}} - 1)}{5 x^{\frac{4}{3}}} \times 45 x^{\frac{7}{3}}} = \frac{1}{3}$ .

Let $L = \lim_{x \to 0} (\frac{\tan^{- 1} x + \log_{e} \sqrt{\frac{1 + x}{1 - x}} - 2 x}{x^{5}})$

$= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(x - \frac{x^{3}}{3} + \frac{x^{5}}{5} - . . .) + \frac{1}{2} [\log_{e} (1 + x) - \log_{e} (1 - x)] - 2 x}{x^{5}}$

$= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(x - \frac{x^{3}}{3} + \frac{x^{5}}{5} - . . .) + \frac{1}{2} [x - \frac{x^{2}}{2} + \frac{x^{3}}{3} - . . . . . - (- x - \frac{x^{2}}{2} - \frac{x^{3}}{3} - . . . . .)] - 2 x}{x^{5}}$

$= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x - \frac{x^{3}}{3} + \frac{x^{5}}{5} - . . . + (x + \frac{x^{3}}{3} + \frac{x^{5}}{5} + . . .) - 2 x}{x^{5}}$

$= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(2 x + \frac{2 x^{5}}{5} + . . .) - 2 x}{x^{5}} = \frac{2}{5}$

$∴$ Statement I is true.

Let $I = \lim_{x \to 1} x^{(\frac{2}{1 - x})} = \lim_{x \to 1} e^{\ln (x^{2 / 1 - x})} = \lim_{x \to 1} e^{2 \ln x / (1 - x)}$

Let us evaluate $\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{2 \ln x}{1 - x}$ $(\frac{0}{0} form)$

$= \lim_{x \to 1} \frac{2 / x}{- 1}$ [Using L'Hospital rule]

= – 2

$∴ I = \lim_{x \to 1} e^{- 2} = e^{- 2}$

$∴$ Statement II is also true.

Q 18 :
If $\lim_{x \to \infty} ((\frac{e}{1 - e}) {(\frac{1}{e} - \frac{x}{1 + x}))}^{x} = α$ , then the value of $\frac{\log_{e} α}{1 + \log_{e} α}$ equals : [2025]

$α = \lim_{x \to \infty} ((\frac{e}{1 - e}) {(\frac{1}{e} - \frac{x}{1 + x}))}^{x}$ ( $1^{\infty}$ form)

$∴ α = e^{L}, where L = \lim_{x \to \infty} x ((\frac{e}{1 - e}) \times (\frac{1}{e} - \frac{x}{1 + x}) - 1)$

$\Rightarrow L = \lim_{x \to \infty} (\frac{e}{1 - e}) x (\frac{1}{e} - \frac{x}{1 + x} - (\frac{1 - e}{e}))$

$\Rightarrow L = \frac{e}{1 - e} \lim_{x \to \infty} x (1 - \frac{x}{1 + x}) \Rightarrow L = \frac{e}{1 - e} \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x}{1 + x}$

$\Rightarrow L = \frac{e}{1 - e} \cdot 1 \Rightarrow L = \frac{e}{1 - e}$

$∴ α = e^{\frac{e}{1 - e}} \Rightarrow \log_{e} α = \frac{e}{1 - e}$

$∴$ Required value $= \frac{\frac{e}{1 - e}}{1 + \frac{e}{1 - e}} = e$ .

Q 19 :

$= \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{e^{\frac{x}{2} (1 - \frac{1}{3 x} - 1)}}{e^{\frac{x}{2} (1 + \frac{2}{3 x} - 1)}}$
