Correct answer: A

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Analyze the given limit expression. We are given the equation: lim⁡t→xt2f(x)−x2f(t)t−x=1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} {{{t^2}f(x) - {x^2}f(t)} \over {t - x}} = 1t→xlim​t−xt2f(x)−x2f(t)​=1 As t→xt \to xt→x, the numerator becomes x2f(x)−x2f(x)=0x^2f(x) - x^2f(x) = 0x2f(x)−x2f(x)=0 and the denominator becomes x−x=0x - x = 0x−x=0. This is an indeterminate form of type 00\frac{0}{0}00​. We can solve this limit by either using L'Hôpital's Rule or by rewriting the expression to relate it to the definition of a derivative.

  2. Rewrite the limit to find the derivative. Let's add and subtract the term x2f(x)x^2f(x)x2f(x) in the numerator: lim⁡t→xt2f(x)−x2f(x)+x2f(x)−x2f(t)t−x=1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} {{{t^2}f(x) - x^2f(x) + x^2f(x) - {x^2}f(t)} \over {t - x}} = 1t→xlim​t−xt2f(x)−x2f(x)+x2f(x)−x2f(t)​=1 Now, we can split the limit into two parts: lim⁡t→x(t2f(x)−x2f(x)t−x+x2f(x)−x2f(t)t−x)=1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} \left( {{{t^2}f(x) - x^2f(x)} \over {t - x}} + {{x^2f(x) - {x^2}f(t)} \over {t - x}} \right) = 1t→xlim​(t−xt2f(x)−x2f(x)​+t−xx2f(x)−x2f(t)​)=1 Factor out common terms: lim⁡t→x(f(x)t2−x2t−x−x2f(t)−f(x)t−x)=1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} \left( {f(x){{t^2 - x^2} \over {t - x}} - x^2{{f(t) - f(x)} \over {t - x}}} \right) = 1t→xlim​(f(x)t−xt2−x2​−x2t−xf(t)−f(x)​)=1 The term t2−x2t^2 - x^2t2−x2 can be factored as (t−x)(t+x)(t-x)(t+x)(t−x)(t+x). lim⁡t→x(f(x)(t−x)(t+x)t−x)−lim⁡t→x(x2f(t)−f(x)t−x)=1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} \left( {f(x){{(t - x)(t + x)} \over {t - x}}} \right) - \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} \left( {x^2{{f(t) - f(x)} \over {t - x}}} \right) = 1t→xlim​(f(x)t−x(t−x)(t+x)​)−t→xlim​(x2t−xf(t)−f(x)​)=1 The term t−xt−x\frac{t-x}{t-x}t−xt−x​ cancels out. The second limit is the definition of the derivative f′(x)f'(x)f′(x). lim⁡t→x(f(x)(t+x))−x2⋅f′(x)=1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} \left( {f(x)(t + x)} \right) - x^2 \cdot f'(x) = 1t→xlim​(f(x)(t+x))−x2⋅f′(x)=1 Now, we can evaluate the limit by substituting t=xt=xt=x: f(x)(x+x)−x2f′(x)=1f(x)(x + x) - x^2 f'(x) = 1f(x)(x+x)−x2f′(x)=1 2xf(x)−x2f′(x)=12x f(x) - x^2 f'(x) = 12xf(x)−x2f′(x)=1

  3. Formulate and solve the differential equation. The equation we derived is a first-order linear differential equation: x2f′(x)−2xf(x)=−1x^2 f'(x) - 2x f(x) = -1x2f′(x)−2xf(x)=−1 Let y=f(x)y = f(x)y=f(x), so y′=f′(x)y' = f'(x)y′=f′(x). x2dydx−2xy=−1x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} - 2xy = -1x2dxdy​−2xy=−1 Dividing by x2x^2x2 (since x>0x>0x>0), we get the standard form dydx+P(x)y=Q(x)\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)dxdy​+P(x)y=Q(x): dydx−2xy=−1x2\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{2}{x} y = -\frac{1}{x^2}dxdy​−x2​y=−x21​ Here, P(x)=−2xP(x) = -\frac{2}{x}P(x)=−x2​ and Q(x)=−1x2Q(x) = -\frac{1}{x^2}Q(x)=−x21​.

  4. Find the integrating factor (I.F.). The integrating factor is given by e∫P(x)dxe^{\int P(x) dx}e∫P(x)dx. I.F.=e∫−2xdx=e−2ln⁡∣x∣=eln⁡(x−2)=x−2=1x2I.F. = e^{\int -\frac{2}{x} dx} = e^{-2 \ln|x|} = e^{\ln(x^{-2})} = x^{-2} = \frac{1}{x^2}I.F.=e∫−x2​dx=e−2ln∣x∣=eln(x−2)=x−2=x21​ Since x>0x>0x>0, we can drop the absolute value.

  5. Solve for the general solution. Multiply the standard form of the differential equation by the I.F.: 1x2(dydx−2xy)=1x2(−1x2)\frac{1}{x^2} \left( \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{2}{x} y \right) = \frac{1}{x^2} \left( -\frac{1}{x^2} \right)x21​(dxdy​−x2​y)=x21​(−x21​) 1x2dydx−2x3y=−1x4\frac{1}{x^2} \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{2}{x^3} y = -\frac{1}{x^4}x21​dxdy​−x32​y=−x41​ The left side is the derivative of (y⋅I.F.)(y \cdot I.F.)(y⋅I.F.): ddx(y⋅1x2)=−1x4\frac{d}{dx} \left( y \cdot \frac{1}{x^2} \right) = -\frac{1}{x^4}dxd​(y⋅x21​)=−x41​ Integrate both sides with respect to xxx: ∫ddx(yx2)dx=∫−x−4dx\int \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{y}{x^2} \right) dx = \int -x^{-4} dx∫dxd​(x2y​)dx=∫−x−4dx yx2=−x−3−3+C\frac{y}{x^2} = -\frac{x^{-3}}{-3} + Cx2y​=−−3x−3​+C yx2=13x3+C\frac{y}{x^2} = \frac{1}{3x^3} + Cx2y​=3x31​+C Solving for y=f(x)y = f(x)y=f(x): y=f(x)=x2(13x3+C)=13x+Cx2y = f(x) = x^2 \left( \frac{1}{3x^3} + C \right) = \frac{1}{3x} + Cx^2y=f(x)=x2(3x31​+C)=3x1​+Cx2

  6. Use the initial condition to find the constant C. We are given that f(1)=1f(1) = 1f(1)=1. Substitute x=1x=1x=1 into the general solution: f(1)=13(1)+C(1)2=1f(1) = \frac{1}{3(1)} + C(1)^2 = 1f(1)=3(1)1​+C(1)2=1 13+C=1\frac{1}{3} + C = 131​+C=1 C=1−13=23C = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}C=1−31​=32​

  7. Write the final expression for f(x). Substitute the value of C back into the general solution: f(x)=13x+23x2f(x) = \frac{1}{3x} + \frac{2}{3}x^2f(x)=3x1​+32​x2 This can also be written as: f(x)=13x+2x23f(x) = {1 \over {3x}} + {{2{x^2}} \over 3}f(x)=3x1​+32x2​

  8. Compare with the given options. The derived function f(x)=13x+2x23f(x) = {1 \over {3x}} + {{2{x^2}} \over 3}f(x)=3x1​+32x2​ matches option A.

Alternative method using L'Hôpital's Rule: Differentiating numerator and denominator with respect to ttt gives: lim⁡t→xd/dt(t2f(x)−x2f(t))d/dt(t−x)=lim⁡t→x2tf(x)−x2f′(t)1=2xf(x)−x2f′(x)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} {{d/dt(t^2f(x) - {x^2}f(t))} \over {d/dt(t - x)}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to x} {{2tf(x) - x^2f'(t)} \over 1} = 2xf(x) - x^2f'(x)t→xlim​d/dt(t−x)d/dt(t2f(x)−x2f(t))​=t→xlim​12tf(x)−x2f′(t)​=2xf(x)−x2f′(x) Setting this equal to 1 gives 2xf(x)−x2f′(x)=12xf(x) - x^2f'(x) = 12xf(x)−x2f′(x)=1, which is the same differential equation obtained above, leading to the same solution.
