Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

If $\alpha$, $\beta$ are the distinct roots of x2 + bx + c = 0, then

$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \beta } {{{e^{2({x^2} + bx + c)}} - 1 - 2({x^2} + bx + c)} \over {{{(x - \beta )}^2}}}$$ is equal to :

  1. A b<sup>2</sup> + 4c
  2. B 2(b<sup>2</sup> + 4c)
  3. C 2(b<sup>2</sup> $-$ 4c) Correct answer
  4. D b<sup>2</sup> $-$ 4c

Solution

$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \beta } {{{e^{2({x^2} + bx + c)}} - 1 - 2({x^2} + bx + c)} \over {{{(x - \beta )}^2}}}$$<br><br>$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \beta } {{1\left( {1 + {{2({x^2} + bx + c)} \over {1!}} + {{{2^2}{{({x^2} + bx + c)}^2}} \over {2!}} + ...} \right) - 1 - 2({x^2} + bx + c)} \over {{{(x - \beta )}^2}}}$$<br><br>$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \beta } {{2{{({x^2} + bx + 1)}^2}} \over {{{(x - \beta )}^2}}}$$<br><br>$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \beta } {{2{{(x - \alpha )}^2}{{(x - \beta )}^2}} \over {{{(x - \beta )}^2}}}$$<br><br>$= 2{(\beta - \alpha )^2} = 2({b^2} - 4c)$
