JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 12. limits

Let \(\lim\limits_{x \to 2} \dfrac{(\tan(x-2))(rx^2 + (p-2)x - 2p)}{(x-2)^2} = 5\) for some \(r, p \in \mathbb{R}\). If the set of all possible values of \(q\), such that the roots of the equation \(rx^2 - px + q = 0\) lie in \((0, 2)\), be the interval \((\alpha, \beta]\), then \(4(\alpha + \beta)\) equals :

  1. A \(11\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(17\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given limit is \(\lim\limits_{x \to 2} \dfrac{\tan(x-2)}{x-2} \cdot \dfrac{rx^2 + (p-2)x - 2p}{x-2} = 5\) Since \(\lim\limits_{x \to 2} \dfrac{\tan(x-2)}{x-2} = 1\), we have: \(\lim\limits_{x \to 2} \dfrac{rx^2 + (p-2)x - 2p}{x-2} = 5\) For the limit to exist, the numerator must…
