Detailed Solution

We are supposed to find the continuity of the function f(x)=limnlog(2+x)-x2nsinx1+x2n at x=1

Now, we know that limnx2n=0, if x2<1, if x2>1

Hence, to check existence of limit, we evaluate the right-hand side and left-hand side limits separately.

 For x1-, we have,

LHL=limn, x1-log(2+x)-x2nsinx1+x2n        =limx1-log(2+x)1      [On neglecting the term which tends to zero in addition]        = log3

And now, for x1+, we have,

RHL=limn, x1+log(2+x)-x2nsinx1+x2n         =limn, x1+-x2nsinxx2n     [Neglecting finite terms in addition]         =limx1+sinx         =sin1

Thus, it can be clearly seen that limx1+f(x)limx1+f(x).

Therefore, f(x) is not continuous at x=1 and option 1 is correct.
