A) \[a=1\]
B) \[a=0\]
C) \[a=e\]
D) \[a=\frac{1}{e}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Given,\[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{a}^{x}}-{{x}^{a}}}{{{x}^{x}}-{{a}^{a}}}=-1\] \[\left( \frac{0}{0}form \right)\] Apply L' Hospital rule, \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{a}^{x}}\log a-a{{x}^{a-1}}}{{{a}^{a}}(1+\log a)}=-1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{a}^{a}}\log a-{{a}^{a}}}{{{a}^{a}}(1+\log a)}=-1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{\log a-1}{1+\log a}=-1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\log a=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a=1\]
