The restrictions on the constants are insufficient. (Possibly the author meant b>0.)
Let, y = n → ∞ lim ( a a + n b − 1 ) n taking ln of both sides, ln y = n → ∞ lim n × ln ( a a + n b − 1 ) Substitute t = n 1 ln y = t → 0 lim t ( ln a a + b t − 1 ) Since, this limit is in 0 0 form, we may use L'Hôpital's rule ln y = t → 0 lim 1 a + b t − 1 a × a ln b × b t = a ln b ⇒ y = a b
oops seems someone already posted the solution. L A T E X :(
That's how I did it too.
You can use expansion of b 1 / n
b 1 / n = 1 + n l n ( b ) and then binomial expansion
As this is a multiple choice question, it is easy to see that for a=1 only one choice remains ;-)

Set the limit equal to y
Taking ln() both side we have
n → ∞ lim n ln ( a a + b 1 / n − 1 ) = ln ( y )
n → ∞ lim 1 / n ln ( a a + b 1 / n − 1 ) = ln ( y )
Which converts the limit to the 0 0 form,now I will be using L Hospital rule
n → ∞ lim ( − n 2 1 ) ( a + b 1 / n − 1 a ) a × n 2 − b 1 / n ln ( b ) = ln ( y )
On simplifying we get
n → ∞ lim a + b 1 / n − 1 b 1 / n ln ( b ) = a ln ( b ) = ln b 1 / a = ln ( y )
So y = e ln ( b 1 / a ) = a b
I have used the tool that differentiation of b 1 / n is n 2 − b 1 / n ln ( b )
METHOD 2
Assume b = 0 then limit must equal to 0 as α ∞ = 0 when α ∈ [ 0 , 1 )
and only one option gives 0 when we put b=0 that is our answer.
