The correct answer is: 1e

limtxt2f2(x)-x2f2(t)t-x=0
Using L'Hospital

limtx2tf2(x)-x22f(t)f'(t)1=0
2xf2(x)-x22f(x)f'(x)=0
2 x f(x)[ f(x)-xf'(x)]=0
But f(x)0

So, xf'(x)=f(x)
xdydx=y
1ydy=1xdx
Integration gives

lny=lnx+lnc
y=cxf(x)=cx
Now

f(1)=c=e (given)

So, f(x)=e x
Now if f(x)=1, then ex=1x=1e
