The correct answer is: 11

Given limx1sin3x24x+1x2+12x37x2+ax+b=2    ...i

Putting x=1 in limit we get

limx1sin0-1+12-7+a+b=-2 limx10a+b-5=-2

For limit to exist a+b-5 should be zero

so a+b-5=0   a+b=5      ...ii

Now Using L-Hospital in equation i we get

limx1cos3x2-4x+16x-4-2x6x2-14x+a=-2

Again putting x=1 we get

limx1cos0×6-4-26-14+a=-2

limx10a-8=-2

Again for limit to exist a-8=0a=8

So from equation ii we get

8+b=5b=-3

So a-b=8--3=11
