The correct answer is: 23

Given relation is fx . fy=fxy+x .....1

Interchanging x and y in equation 1 we get,

fy . fx=fyx+y .......2

Again replacing x with fx in equation 2 we get

ffx·fy=fy·fx+fx 

ffx·fy=fyx+y+fx  ...3 {from equation 2}

Again interchanging x and y in equation 3, we have

ffy·fx=fyx+x+fy.......4

Now from equation 3 & 4 we get,

fxy+y+fx=fyx+x+fy ......5

Suppose fx-x=fy-y=λ

Substituting fx=λ+x in equation 5 we have

x·fy+λ=xy+λ+x

x·fy=xy+x

Therefore xy+λ=xy+x     fy=λ+y

λ=xλ=1  x>0

So fx=x+λ=x+1

Hence limx0fx13fx12-1=limx01+x13-11+x12-1

=limx01+x13-11+x-1·1+x-11+x12-1=1312=23
