JEE Main 2025 — 8 April, Evening Shift — Question 27

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II:

Statement I: lim⁡x→0(tan⁡−1x+log⁡e1+x1−x−2xx5)=25\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\tan ^{-1} x+\log _{e} \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}-2 x}{x^{5}}\right)=\frac{2}{5}

Statement II: lim⁡x→1(x21−x)=1e2\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(x^{\frac{2}{1-x}}\right)=\frac{1}{e^{2}}

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    Statement I is false but Statement II is true

  2. Option B:

    Both Statement I and Statement II are false

  3. Option C:

    Both Statement I and Statement II are true

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

Statement   I:   lim⁡x→0tan⁡−1x+log⁡1+x1−x−2xx5\text{Statement\; I:\; } \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\tan^{-1} x + \log \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}} - 2x}{x^5}

Series   expansions:   \text{Series\; expansions:\; } tan⁡−1x=x−x33+x55+O(x7),\tan^{-1}x = x - \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x^5}{5} + O(x^7),\quad log⁡1+x1−x=x+x33+x55+O(x7)\log \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}} = x + \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x^5}{5} + O(x^7)

Combine:   tan⁡−1x+log⁡1+x1−x−2x=25x5+O(x7)\text{Combine:\; } \tan^{-1}x + \log\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}} - 2x = \frac{2}{5} x^5 + O(x^7)

⇒lim⁡x→02x5/5x5=25\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2 x^5 /5}{x^5} = \frac{2}{5}

Statement   II:   lim⁡x→1x2/(1−x)=lim⁡x→1e2ln⁡x1−x=e2⋅(−1)=1e2\text{Statement\; II:\; } \lim_{x \to 1} x^{2/(1-x)} = \lim_{x \to 1} e^{\frac{2 \ln x}{1-x}} = e^{2 \cdot (-1)} = \frac{1}{e^2}

Hence   both   statements   are   correct.\text{Hence\; both\; statements\; are\; correct.}
