Option B

Solution :

The correct answer is 2.

We are given that:
lim x 0 + ( sin ( sin k x ) + cos x + x ) 2 x = e 6

Let the limit be denoted by L. As x0+, the base expression is:
sin ( sin ( k · 0 ) ) + cos ( 0 ) + 0 = 0 + 1 + 0 = 1
and the exponent is:
2 x
Thus, the limit is of the indeterminate form 1.

For a limit of the form limxa[f(x)]g(x) where f(x)1 and g(x), the limit is evaluated as:
L = e lim x a ( f ( x ) 1 ) g ( x )

Applying this rule to our limit:
L = e lim x 0 + ( sin ( sin k x ) + cos x + x 1 ) · 2 x

Let us evaluate the limit in the exponent:
E = lim x 0 + 2 · [ sin ( sin k x ) x + cos x 1 x + x x ]

We can analyze each term inside the brackets as x0+:
1) First term:
lim x 0 + sin ( sin k x ) x = lim x 0 + [ sin ( sin k x ) sin k x · sin k x k x · k ] = 1 · 1 · k = k
2) Second term:
lim x 0 + cos x 1 x = lim x 0 + x · ( 1 cos x x 2 ) = 0 · 1 2 = 0
3) Third term:
lim x 0 + x x = 1

Substituting these values back into the exponent expression, we obtain:
E = 2 · ( k + 0 + 1 ) = 2 ( k + 1 )

Therefore, the limit is:
L = e 2 ( k + 1 )

We are given that L=e6. Comparing the exponents:
2 ( k + 1 ) = 6
k + 1 = 3
k = 2

Thus, the value of k is 2.
