    If \[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{\left( 1+\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2x}}={{e}^{2}},\]then the values of a and b are [AIEEE 2004]

    A)                 \[a=1,\ b=2\]

    B)                 \[\cos (|x|)\,-|x|\]

    C)                 \[a\in R,\ b=2\]

    D)                 \[a\in R,\ b\in R\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Since, \[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( 1+\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)={{e}^{2}}\]                 \ \[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{ax+b}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{ax+b}}} \right]}^{\frac{2(ax+b)}{x}}}={{e}^{2}}\]                 Þ \[\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{e}^{\frac{2(ax+b)}{x}}}={{e}^{2}}\Rightarrow \underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2(ax+b)}{x}=2\]Þ \[2a=2\Rightarrow a=1\]                 Thus \[a=1\] and \[b\in R\].
