As we learnt in 

Evaluation of Exponential Limits -

\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\:\:\:\frac{e^{x}-1}{x}=1

\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\:\:\:\frac{a^{x}-1}{x}=log_{e}{a}

\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\:\:\:\frac{e^{Kx}-1}{x}\neq 1

\therefore \:\:\:\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\:\:\:\frac{e^{Kx}-1}{x}\times \frac{K}{K}

\therefore \:\:\:K\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\:\:\:\frac{e^{Kx}-1}{Kx}=K\times 1=K

- wherein

\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\:\:\:\frac{e^{x}-1}{x}

x\:must\:be\:same

 

 f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{(e^{x}-1)^{2}}{sin\left(\frac{x}{k} \right )log\left(1+\frac{x}{4} \right )} \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, x\neq0 \\ 12\, \, \, \, \, \, \,\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, x=0 \end{matrix}\right.

 

 

\therefore \lim_{x\rightarrow \frac{0^{+}}{0^{-}}}\frac{\left (e^{x}-1 \right )^{2}}{\sin\left ( \frac{x}{k} \right )log(1+\frac{x}{4}) }

\therefore \lim_{x\rightarrow \frac{0^{+}}{0^{-}}}\frac{\frac{\left ( e^{x}-1 \right )^{2}}{x^{2}}}{\frac{sin\left ( \frac{n}{k} \right )log(1+\frac{r}{4})}{\frac{x}{k} \times k\, \, \, \, \, \frac{x} {4}\times 4}}

\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\left(\frac{e^{x}-1}{x} \right )^{2}}{\left(\frac{sin\frac{x}{k}}{\frac{x}{k}} \right )\frac{log\left(1+\frac{x}{4} \right )}{\frac{x}{4}}}\times 4k

\therefore \frac{1\times 4k}{1\times 1}=4k

\therefore 4k=12

\therefore k=3
