Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\dfrac{\log \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)}{\log \left(\dfrac{c}{d}\right)}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given limit is \(L = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{a^x - b^x}{c^x - d^x}\). Since the limit is of the form \(\dfrac{0}{0}\) as \(x \rightarrow 0\), we apply L'Hopital's rule by differentiating the numerator and the denominator with respect to \(x\). The derivative of \(a^x\)…
