(S2):limn→∞1n16(115+215+315+…+n15)=116              [2023]
 

  • Only (S1) is true

     

  • Both (S1) and (S2) are false

     

  • Only (S2) is true

     

  • Both (S1) and (S2) are true

     

(4)

(S1): limn→∞1n2(2+4+6+…+2n)

=limn→∞1n2×2(1+2+3+…+n)

=limn→∞1n2×2×n(n+1)2=limn→∞(1+1n)=1

∴   (S1) is true.

(S2): limn→∞1 n16115+215+315+…+n15=limn→∞1n16∑r=1nr15

=limn→∞1n∑r=1n(rn)15=∫01x15 dx=|x1616|01=116

∴  (S2) is also true.

  • 72

     

  • 64

     

  • 68

     

  • 76

     

(3)

limx→0 aeax+bsinbx-c2e-cx+c2x2e-cx2sin2x=17

⇒ a-c2=0     ∴  a=c2

Again, applying (L'Hospital's rule)

limx→0 a2eax+b2cosbx+c22e-cx-c3x2e-cx+c22e-cx4cos2x=17

⇒a2+b2+c22+c224=17

⇒a2+b2+c2=68 ⇒a2+b2+4a2=68

⇒5a2+b2=68

Let L=limt→0(11sin2t+21sin2t+…+n1sin2t)sin2t

⇒L=limt→0n[(1n)cosec2t+(2n)cosec2t+ …+(n-1n)cosec2t+1]sin2t

  • [-7.5,-6.5)

     

  • (-7.5,-6.5)

     

  • (-7.5,-6.5]

     

  • [-7.5,-6.5]

     

(2)

limx→a([x-5]-[2x+2])=0

⇒limx→a([x]-5-[2x]-2)=0 ⇒limx→a([x]-[2x])=7

Let a∈[x1,x+12), then x-2x=7⇒x=-7

∴  a∈[-7,-6.5)

Let a∈(x+12,x+1), then x-(2x+1)=7

⇒-x=8⇒x=-8; a∈[-7.5,-7)

But limit does not exist at a=-7.5

Hence, a∈(-7.5,-6.5)



Q 15 :

Let x=2 be a root of the equation x2+px+q=0 and f(x)={1-cos(x2-4px+q2+8q+16)(x-2p)4,x≠2p0,x=2p

Then limx→2p+[f(x)], where [·] denotes the greatest integer function, is              [2023]

  • 2

     

  • 1

     

  • - 1

     

  • 0

     

(4)

Put x=2 in x2+px+q=0 ⇒4+2p+q=0 ⇒-2p=(q+4)

Now, limx→2p+1-cos(x2-4px+q2+8q+16)(x-2p)4

=limx→2p+1-cos[x2-2x·2p+q2+2·q·4+42](x-2p)4

=limx→2p+1-cos(x-2p)2(x-2p)4=limx→2p+2sin2((x-2p)22)(x-2p)44·14

=limx→2p+2×1×14=12        (∵limθ→0sinθθ=1)

Now, [1/2]=0

Using the identity

Q 31 :

If α=limx→0+(etanx-extanx-x) and β=limx→0+(1+sinx)12cotx are the roots of the quadratic equation ax2+bx-e=0, then 24loge(a+b) is equal to _______



(12)

α=limx→0+etanx-extanx-x=1, β=limx→0(1+sinx)12cotx=e1/2

The equation having roots 1, e is x2-(1+e)x+e=0

It is given as ax2+bx-e=0

  • 5

     

  • 6

     

  • 8

     

  • 10

     

(2)

We have, limx→2sin(x3–5x2+ax+b)(x–1–1)loge(x–1)=m

⇒ limx→2(x–1–1)sin(x3–5x2+ax+b)[(x–1)–1]loge(1+(x–2))=m

⇒ 2limx→2sin(x3–5x2+ax+b)(x–2)2=m          ... (i)

Let  f(x)=x3–5x2+ax+b

⇒  f'(x)=3x2–10x+a

For limit to be finite, f(2)=0, f'(2)=0

For f(2)=0 ⇒ 8–20+2a+b, f'(2)=0

⇒  2a+b=12

For f'(2)=0 ⇒ 3(4)–10(2)+a=0

⇒  a=8   ∴ b=–4

∴   From (i),

      2limx→2sin(x3–5x2+8x–4)(x–2)2=m

⇒ 2limx→2sin[(x2)2(x–1)](x–2)2(x–1)(x–1)=m

We have, limx→01–cos(αx)cos(α+1)xcos(α+2)x(sin2(α+1)x(α+1)2x2)(α+1)2x2=2

⇒  limx→01–cos(αx)cos(α+1)xcos(α+2)x(α+1)2x2=2

⇒  limx→01–{1+α2x22+(α+1)2x22+(+2)2x22...}(α+1)2x2=2

⇒  limx→0α22+(α+1)22+(α+2)22=2(α+1)2

Given, f(x)=limy→0(1–cos(xy))tan(xy)y3

         =limy→0x2(1–cos(xy))(xy)2×tan(xy)(xy)×x

Let limx→2(tan(x–2))(rx2+(p–2)x–2p)(x–2)2=5 for some r, p∈R. If the set of all possible values of q, such that the roots of the equation  in (0, 2), be the interval (α,β], then 4(α+β) equals:           [2026]

  • 21

     

(3)

        limx→2[tan(x–2)(x–2)][rx2+(p–2)x–2px–2]=5

⇒  limx→2rx2+(p–2)x–2px–2=5          [∵  limx→2[tan(x–2)(x–2)=1]

Since Dr→0, Nr→0

⇒  r=1

        limx→2x2+(p–2)x–2px–2=5

⇒  limx→2x(x–2)+p(x–2)(x–2)=5

⇒  limx→2(x+p)=5

⇒  2+p=5 ⇒ p=3

Now given equation : rx2–px+q=0

⇒  x2–3x+q=0

f(0)>0 ⇒ q>0, f(2)>0 ⇒ q–2>0 ⇒ q>2

And D≥0 ⇒9–4q≥0 ⇒ 94≥q 

⇒  q∈(2,94]

Thus, α=2, β=94

∴   4(α+β)=4(2+94)=17
