Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Given $ \underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }},{{[1+{{(cosx)}^{\cos x}}]}^{2}} $ Let $ y=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }},{{(cosx)}^{\cos x}} $ $ \log (y)=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }},(cosx)log,cos,x $ $ \log (y)=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{\log (cosx)}{\sec (x)}( \frac{\infty }{\infty }form ) $ Applying L?Hospital?s rule $ \log (y)=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{-\sin x}{\cos x(sec,x,tan,x)} $ $ =\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }},(-cosx)=0. $
$ \therefore y=e^{0}=1 $ Now, limits is $ {{(1+1)}^{2}}=2^{2}=4. $
