Q24 / 90 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Limits

If limx→0x1+acos⁡x-bsin⁡xx3=1, then the value of ab is equal to

Correct answer: 3.75

Solution

Using the expansion, we get, 
limx→0x+ax1-x22!+x44!-......-bx-x33!+......x3=1
limx→01+a-bx+-a2+b6x3+.....x3=1
For limit to exist numerator & denominator must be of the same degree
∴1+a-b=0 … 1
Also, -a2+b6=1⇒3a-b+6=0 … 2
By equations 1 & 2, we get, 
a=-52 and b=-32

⇒ab=154=3.75

Hence, the correct answer is 3.75.
