Assertion & Reason Type Question :-

All questions are Assertion & Reason type questions. Each of these questions contains two
statements : Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the
following four option.
(A) Statement-1 is false. Statement-2 is true
(B) Statement-1 is true. Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
(C) Statement-1 is true. Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1

loge (1  6(f(x)))
which the graph passes then lim =2

Statement-2 : Since the graph passes through (a, 0). Therefore f(a) = 0, when f(a) = 0 given limit
is zero by zero form. So that it can be evaluate by using L’Hospital’s rule.
