Correct answer: C

  1. Check Statement I

We need to evaluate

L=lim⁡x→0tan⁡−1x+log⁡e1+x1−x−2xx5.L=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\tan^{-1}x+\log_e\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}-2x}{x^5}.L=x→0lim​x5tan−1x+loge​1−x1+x​​−2x​.

First simplify the logarithmic term:

log⁡e1+x1−x=12log⁡(1+x1−x).\log_e\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}=\frac12\log\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right).loge​1−x1+x​​=21​log(1−x1+x​).

Using the standard expansion,

12log⁡(1+x1−x)=x+x33+x55+⋯\frac12\log\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)=x+\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^5}{5}+\cdots21​log(1−x1+x​)=x+3x3​+5x5​+⋯

Also,

tan⁡−1x=x−x33+x55−⋯\tan^{-1}x=x-\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^5}{5}-\cdotstan−1x=x−3x3​+5x5​−⋯

Now add:

tan⁡−1x+12log⁡(1+x1−x)=(x−x33+x55+⋯ )+(x+x33+x55+⋯ ).\tan^{-1}x+\frac12\log\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) =\left(x-\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^5}{5}+\cdots\right)+\left(x+\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^5}{5}+\cdots\right).tan−1x+21​log(1−x1+x​)=(x−3x3​+5x5​+⋯)+(x+3x3​+5x5​+⋯).

So,

tan⁡−1x+log⁡e1+x1−x=2x+2x55+⋯\tan^{-1}x+\log_e\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}=2x+\frac{2x^5}{5}+\cdotstan−1x+loge​1−x1+x​​=2x+52x5​+⋯

Hence,

tan⁡−1x+log⁡e1+x1−x−2x=2x55+⋯\tan^{-1}x+\log_e\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}-2x=\frac{2x^5}{5}+\cdotstan−1x+loge​1−x1+x​​−2x=52x5​+⋯

Therefore,

L=lim⁡x→02x55+⋯x5=25.L=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\frac{2x^5}{5}+\cdots}{x^5}=\frac25.L=x→0lim​x552x5​+⋯​=52​.

So Statement I is true.


  1. Check Statement II

We need to evaluate

lim⁡x→1x21−x.\lim_{x\to 1}x^{\frac{2}{1-x}}.x→1lim​x1−x2​.

This is of the form 1∞1^\infty1∞, so take logarithm.

Let

y=x21−x.y=x^{\frac{2}{1-x}}.y=x1−x2​.

Then

ln⁡y=2ln⁡x1−x.\ln y=\frac{2\ln x}{1-x}.lny=1−x2lnx​.

Now evaluate

lim⁡x→12ln⁡x1−x=2lim⁡x→1ln⁡x1−x.\lim_{x\to 1}\frac{2\ln x}{1-x}=2\lim_{x\to 1}\frac{\ln x}{1-x}.x→1lim​1−x2lnx​=2x→1lim​1−xlnx​.

Using L'Hospital's Rule:

lim⁡x→1ln⁡x1−x=lim⁡x→11/x−1=−1.\lim_{x\to 1}\frac{\ln x}{1-x} =\lim_{x\to 1}\frac{1/x}{-1}=-1.x→1lim​1−xlnx​=x→1lim​−11/x​=−1.

Thus,

lim⁡x→1ln⁡y=2(−1)=−2.\lim_{x\to 1}\ln y=2(-1)=-2.x→1lim​lny=2(−1)=−2.

So,

lim⁡x→1y=e−2=1e2.\lim_{x\to 1}y=e^{-2}=\frac{1}{e^2}.x→1lim​y=e−2=e21​.

Hence Statement II is true.


  1. Conclusion
  • Statement I is true
  • Statement II is true

Therefore, the correct option is

C\boxed{\text{C}}C​
  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: C

This matches our derived answer.
