Solution

The largest value of the non negative integer ‘a’ for which
limx1{ax+sin(x1)+ax+sin(x1)1}1x1x=14
Let f(x)=ax+sin(x1)+ax+sin(x1)1f(x)=sin(x1)0a(x1)sin(x1)+(x1)limx1f(x)=00
Using L’hospital’s theorem
limx1f(x)=limx1cos(x1)acos(x1)+1=cos0acos0+1=1a2
g(x)=1x1x
limx1g(x)=limx11x1x=00
Using L’hospital’s theorem
limx1g(x)=limx1112x=1×2=2
limx1[f(x)]g(x)=14lnlimx1[f(x)]g(x)=ln14limx1g(x)lnf(x)=ln14limx1g(x).limx1lm(f(x))=ln142.lnlimx1f(x)=ln142.ln(1a2)=ln14(1a2)2=14
Solving this we get a=0 and a=2.
But for a=2 we get a negative number raised to the power of a rational number. This is not always defined.
Hence a=0 is the right answer.
