Correct answer: D

  1. Given limit

We need to evaluate

L=lim⁡x→∞(3x+1+3x−1)6+(3x+1−3x−1)6(x+x2−1)6+(x−x2−1)6 x3L=\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(\sqrt{3x+1}+\sqrt{3x-1})^6+(\sqrt{3x+1}-\sqrt{3x-1})^6} {\left(x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\right)^6+\left(x-\sqrt{x^2-1}\right)^6}\,x^3L=x→∞lim​(x+x2−1​)6+(x−x2−1​)6(3x+1​+3x−1​)6+(3x+1​−3x−1​)6​x3
  1. Use the identity

For any a,ba,ba,b,

(a+b)6+(a−b)6=2(a6+15a4b2+15a2b4+b6)(a+b)^6+(a-b)^6=2\left(a^6+15a^4b^2+15a^2b^4+b^6\right)(a+b)6+(a−b)6=2(a6+15a4b2+15a2b4+b6)

We apply this to the numerator with

a=3x+1,b=3x−1a=\sqrt{3x+1},\qquad b=\sqrt{3x-1}a=3x+1​,b=3x−1​

Then

a2=3x+1,b2=3x−1a^2=3x+1,\qquad b^2=3x-1a2=3x+1,b2=3x−1

So

(a+b)6+(a−b)6=2((3x+1)3+15(3x+1)2(3x−1)+15(3x+1)(3x−1)2+(3x−1)3)(a+b)^6+(a-b)^6=2\left((3x+1)^3+15(3x+1)^2(3x-1)+15(3x+1)(3x-1)^2+(3x-1)^3\right)(a+b)6+(a−b)6=2((3x+1)3+15(3x+1)2(3x−1)+15(3x+1)(3x−1)2+(3x−1)3)

But an easier way is to first compute

a2+b2=(3x+1)+(3x−1)=6xa^2+b^2=(3x+1)+(3x-1)=6xa2+b2=(3x+1)+(3x−1)=6x a2b2=(3x+1)(3x−1)=9x2−1a^2b^2=(3x+1)(3x-1)=9x^2-1a2b2=(3x+1)(3x−1)=9x2−1

Using

(a+b)6+(a−b)6=2((a2+b2)3−3a2b2(a2+b2)+12a2b2(a2+b2))(a+b)^6+(a-b)^6=2\left((a^2+b^2)^3-3a^2b^2(a^2+b^2)+12a^2b^2(a^2+b^2)\right)(a+b)6+(a−b)6=2((a2+b2)3−3a2b2(a2+b2)+12a2b2(a2+b2))

which simplifies to

2((a2+b2)3+12a2b2(a2+b2))2\left((a^2+b^2)^3+12a^2b^2(a^2+b^2)\right)2((a2+b2)3+12a2b2(a2+b2))

Hence numerator

N=2((6x)3+12(9x2−1)(6x))N=2\left((6x)^3+12(9x^2-1)(6x)\right)N=2((6x)3+12(9x2−1)(6x)) N=2(216x3+72x(9x2−1))N=2\left(216x^3+72x(9x^2-1)\right)N=2(216x3+72x(9x2−1)) N=2(216x3+648x3−72x)=2(864x3−72x)N=2\left(216x^3+648x^3-72x\right) =2(864x^3-72x)N=2(216x3+648x3−72x)=2(864x3−72x) N=1728x3−144xN=1728x^3-144xN=1728x3−144x
  1. Simplify the denominator

Let

p=x+x2−1,q=x−x2−1p=x+\sqrt{x^2-1},\qquad q=x-\sqrt{x^2-1}p=x+x2−1​,q=x−x2−1​

Then

pq=x2−(x2−1)=1pq=x^2-(x^2-1)=1pq=x2−(x2−1)=1 p+q=2xp+q=2xp+q=2x

We need

D=p6+q6D=p^6+q^6D=p6+q6

Now,

p3+q3=(p+q)3−3pq(p+q)=(2x)3−3(1)(2x)=8x3−6xp^3+q^3=(p+q)^3-3pq(p+q)=(2x)^3-3(1)(2x)=8x^3-6xp3+q3=(p+q)3−3pq(p+q)=(2x)3−3(1)(2x)=8x3−6x

Therefore,

p6+q6=(p3+q3)2−2p3q3p^6+q^6=(p^3+q^3)^2-2p^3q^3p6+q6=(p3+q3)2−2p3q3

Since pq=1pq=1pq=1, we get p3q3=1p^3q^3=1p3q3=1. Thus

D=(8x3−6x)2−2D=(8x^3-6x)^2-2D=(8x3−6x)2−2 D=64x6−96x4+36x2−2D=64x^6-96x^4+36x^2-2D=64x6−96x4+36x2−2
  1. Substitute into the limit

So

L=lim⁡x→∞1728x3−144x64x6−96x4+36x2−2 x3L=\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1728x^3-144x}{64x^6-96x^4+36x^2-2}\,x^3L=x→∞lim​64x6−96x4+36x2−21728x3−144x​x3 L=lim⁡x→∞(1728x3−144x)x364x6−96x4+36x2−2L=\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(1728x^3-144x)x^3}{64x^6-96x^4+36x^2-2}L=x→∞lim​64x6−96x4+36x2−2(1728x3−144x)x3​ L=lim⁡x→∞1728x6−144x464x6−96x4+36x2−2L=\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1728x^6-144x^4}{64x^6-96x^4+36x^2-2}L=x→∞lim​64x6−96x4+36x2−21728x6−144x4​

Divide numerator and denominator by x6x^6x6:

L=lim⁡x→∞1728−144x264−96x2+36x4−2x6L=\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1728-\frac{144}{x^2}}{64-\frac{96}{x^2}+\frac{36}{x^4}-\frac{2}{x^6}}L=x→∞lim​64−x296​+x436​−x62​1728−x2144​​

As x→∞x\to\inftyx→∞,

L=172864=27L=\frac{1728}{64}=27L=641728​=27
  1. Check options
  • A: 999 ❌
  • B: 272\frac{27}{2}227​ ❌
  • C: does not exist ❌
  • D: 272727 ✅

Therefore, the correct answer is

27\boxed{27}27​ which corresponds to Option D.
