Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] Given that $ f:R\to R $ such that $ f(1)=3andf’(1)=6 $ Then $ \underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},{{[ \frac{f(1+x)}{f(1)} ]}^{1/x}} $ $ ={e^{\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{1}{x}[logf(1+x)-logf(1)]}} $ $ ={e^{\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{\frac{1}{f(1+x)}f’(1+x)}{1}}}={e^{\frac{f’(1)}{f(1)}}}={e^{6/3}}=e^{2} $ [Using L Hospital rule]
