Let \(f(x)=\frac{\left(e^x-1\right)^2}{\sin \left(\frac{x}{a}\right) \log \left(1+\frac{x}{4}\right)}\) for \(x \neq 0\), and \(f(0)=12\). If \(\mathrm{f}\) is continuous at \(x=0\), then the value of \(a\) is equal to

The correct answer is:
3
\(\begin{aligned}
& \operatorname{Lt}_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(e^x-1\right)^2}{\sin \left(\frac{x}{a}\right) \log \left(1+\frac{x}{4}\right)} \\
&=\operatorname{Lt}_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{\left(e^x-1\right)^2}{x} \cdot x^2}{\frac{x}{a} \cdot \frac{\sin \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)}{\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)} \cdot \frac{\log \left(1+\frac{x}{4}\right)}{\frac{x}{4}} \cdot \frac{x}{4}} \Rightarrow 4 a=12 \\
& \Rightarrow a=3
\end{aligned}\)
& \operatorname{Lt}_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(e^x-1\right)^2}{\sin \left(\frac{x}{a}\right) \log \left(1+\frac{x}{4}\right)} \\
