JEE Main 2024 — 4 April, Shift 1 — Question 21

If lim⁡x→1(5x+1)1/3−(x+5)1/3(2x+3)1/2−(x+4)1/2=m5n(2n)2/3\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{(5 x+1)^{1 / 3}-(x+5)^{1 / 3}}{(2 x+3)^{1 / 2}-(x+4)^{1 / 2}}=\frac{m \sqrt{5}}{n(2 n)^{2 / 3}}, where gcd⁡(m,n)=1\operatorname{gcd}(\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{n})=1, then 8 m+12n8 \mathrm{~m}+12 \mathrm{n} is equal to \qquad

Answer: 100

Step-by-step solution

lim⁡x→113(5x+1)−2/35−13(x+5)−2/312(2x+3)−1/2⋅2−12(x+4)−1/2\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{\frac{1}{3}(5 x+1)^{-2 / 3} 5-\frac{1}{3}(x+5)^{-2 / 3}}{\frac{1}{2}(2 x+3)^{-1 / 2} \cdot 2-\frac{1}{2}(x+4)^{-1 / 2}}

=83562/3=\frac{8}{3}\frac{\sqrt{5}}{{{6}^{2/3}}}

m=8,n=3 m=8, n= 3

8 m+12n=1008 \mathrm{~m}+12 \mathrm{n}=100
