The correct answer is: 2

limx01x+xλx+x=L

Let's find left-hand and right-hand limit.

For left-hand limit

x=0-h, x0, h0,  h>0

LHL=limh01-h+-hλ-h+-h

 LHL=limh01+h--hλ+h+-h

Since h>0 -h=-1

 LHL=limh01+h+hλ+h-1=1λ-1

For right-hand limit

x=0+h, x0, h0,  h>0

RHL=limh01h+hλh+h

Since h>0 h=0

 RHL=limh01+h+hλ+h+0=1λ

For existence of limit LHL=RHL

1λ-1=1λ

Cross multiply and square both side.

λ2=λ-12 λ2=λ2+1-2λ

λ=12

Limit L=112=2
