This took me quite some time.. Can we do it in a shorter way?

That is what I was wondering. Although, with practice, some of the steps above can be done in your head without a lot of effort or time. And a couple of tricks can be used to make, say, differentiating the numerator (the log term) shorter by expanding it, i.e, separating the one log term to the difference of two log terms and then differentiating it.
maybe take x + 1 as a new variable t which tends to 1 . Also, since it's a multiple choice question, putting b = 2 , a = 1 will give the correct answer. But although it takes lesser time than the above solution, I don't recommend it.
