    If \[\{x\}\]denotes the fractional part of x, then \[\underset{x\to [a]}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{\{x\}}}-\{x\}-1}{{{\{x\}}^{2}}},\] Where [a] denotes the integral part of a, is equal to

    A) 0

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C) \[e-2\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let \[[a]=n,\]then \[\underset{x\to {{n}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{\{x\}}}-\{x\}-1}{{{\{x\}}^{2}}}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{\{n-h\}}}-\{n-h\}-1}{{{\{n-h\}}^{2}}}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{1-h}}-(1-h)-1}{{{(1-h)}^{2}}}\] \[=\,\,\,e-2\] and \[\underset{x\to {{n}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{\{x\}}}-\{x\}-1}{{{\{x\}}^{2}}}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{\{n+h\}}}-\{n+h\}-1}{{{\{n+h\}}^{2}}}\] \[=\,\,\,\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{h}}-h-1}{{{h}^{2}}}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1+h+\frac{{{h}^{2}}}{2!}+\frac{{{h}^{3}}}{3!}+...-h-1}{{{h}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \] Limit does not exist.
