JEE Main 2024 — 31 January, Shift 2 — Question 25

If lim⁡x→0ax2ex−blog⁡e(1+x)+ce−xx2sin⁡x=1\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{a x^{2} e^{x}-b \log _{e}(1+x)+c e^{-x}}{x^{2} \sin x}=1, then 16(a2+b2+c2)16\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right) is equal to :

Answer: 81

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

ax2(1+x+x22!+x33!+…..)−b(x−x22+x33−…….)a x^{2}\left(1+x+\frac{x^{2}}{2!}+\frac{x^{3}}{3!}+\ldots ..\right)-b\left(x-\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{x^{3}}{3}-\ldots \ldots.\right)

Sol.- lim⁡x→0+cx(1−x+x2x!−x33!+…….)x3⋅sin⁡xx\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{+c x\left(1-x+\frac{x^{2}}{x!}-\frac{x^{3}}{3!}+\ldots \ldots .\right)}{x^{3} \cdot \frac{\sin x}{x}}

=lim⁡x→∞(c−b)x+(b2−c+a)x2+(a−b3+c2)x3+…….x3=1=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{(c-b) x+\left(\frac{b}{2}-c+a\right) x^{2}+\left(a-\frac{b}{3}+\frac{c}{2}\right) x^{3}+\ldots \ldots .}{x^{3}}=1

c−b=0,b2−c+a=0c-b=0, \quad \frac{b}{2}-c+a=0

a−b3+c2=1a-\frac{b}{3}+\frac{c}{2}=1

a=34b=c=32\quad a=\frac{3}{4} \quad b=c=\frac{3}{2}

a2+b2+c2=916+94+94a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=\frac{9}{16}+\frac{9}{4}+\frac{9}{4}

16(a2+b2+c2)=8116\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right)=81.
