    If\[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{\left( 1+\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2x}}={{e}^{2}}\],then

    A) \[a=1,\,\,b=2\]                 

    B) \[a=2,\,\,b=1\]

    C) \[a=1,\,\,b\in R\]            

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since,\[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{\left( 1+\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2x}}-{{e}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{\left( 1+\frac{ax+b}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2x}}-{{e}^{2}}\]                           ... (i) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,=\frac{ax+b}{{{x}^{2}}}\]must be equal to zero. \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{ax+b}{{{x}^{2}}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( \frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a\]and\[b\ne 0\] \[\therefore \]From Eq. (i)                 \[{{e}^{\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2(ax+b)}{x}}}={{e}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{e}^{2a}}={{e}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a=1\]and\[b\in R\]
