    [A] \[\because \]\[\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{2}^{x}}-{{x}^{2}}}{{{x}^{x}}-{{2}^{2}}}\]is equal to:

    A)  \[\frac{{{\log }_{2}}-1}{{{\log }_{2}}+1}\]      

    B)  \[\pm 1\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{\log }_{2}}+1}{{{\log }_{2}}-1}\]                  

    D)  \[-1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\therefore \underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{2}^{x}}-{{x}^{2}}}{{{x}^{x}}-{{2}^{2}}}\]  \[=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x\log 2}}-{{x}^{2}}}{{{e}^{x\log x}}-4}\]  which is \[\frac{0}{0}\]from \[=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log 2.{{e}^{x\log 2}}-2x}{{{e}^{x\log x}}\left( x.\frac{1}{x}+\log x \right)-0}\]       [By LH. Rule] \[=\underset{x\to 2}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log 2.{{(e)}^{x\log 2}}-2x}{{{e}^{x\log x}}(1+\log x)}\] Applying limit, \[x\to 2\], we have \[=\frac{\log {{2.2}^{2}}-2\times 2}{{{2}^{2}}(1+\log 2)}=\frac{4(\log 2-1)}{4(1+\log 2)}=\frac{\log 2-1}{\log 2+1}\] Hence, option [a] is correct.
