Question

If \(m\) and \(n\) are the roots of the equation \(x^2 - px + q = 0\), then what is

\(\displaystyle\lim_{x\to m} \frac{e^{x^2-px+q}-1}{(x-m)(x-n)}\)

equal to?

This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2026 GAT Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

\(1\)

Since \(m\) and \(n\) are roots of \(x^2 - px + q = 0\), we have \(x^2 - px + q = (x-m)(x-n)\). So the expression becomes \(\dfrac{e^{(x-m)(x-n)}-1}{(x-m)(x-n)}\). Putting \(t = (x-m)(x-n)\), as \(x \to m\), \(t \to 0\), and the limit reduces to the standard limit \(\displaystyle\lim_{t\to 0}\frac{e^t-1}{t} = 1\).
