The correct answer is: 3

We have,

limx02-cosxcos2xx+2x21

Hence,
=elimx01-cosxcos2xx2×x+2
Now,

limx01-cosxcos2xx200

Using L'Hospital Rule

limx0sinxcos2x-cosx×12cos2x×-2sin2x2x
 

=limx0sinxcos2x+sin2x·cosx2xcos2x

=limx0sin3x2xcos2x

=32limx0sin3x3x×limx01cos2x

=32limx0sin3x3x×1

=32

So,

elimx01-cosxcos2xx2x+2

=e32×2=e3

a=3
