Q35 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Aug Shift 2) · Mathematics

If limx→∞x2-x+1-ax=b, then the ordered pair (a, b) is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    1,-12
  • B
    -1,12
  • C
    -1,-12
  • D
    1,12

Solution

Given that:limx→∞ x2−x+1−ax=b

⇒limx→∞ x2−x+1−ax×x2−x+1+axx2−x+1+ax=b

⇒limx→∞ x2−x+1−(ax)2x2−x+1+ax=b

⇒ Limit exist only If a2=1, because x2 must not be there in the numerator 

∴a=1,−1

⇒limx→∞ −x+1x2−x+1+ax=b

⇒limx→∞ −1+1x1−1x+1x2+a=b

⇒−11+a=b

Here, a≠−1

So a=1

b=−12

(a,b)≡1,−12

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
