Bhariya your derivation is wrong. 


If you know the basic rule of algebra we always try to avoid situation like 0 divided by 0 . Even in derivative we put tends to 0 rather than 0/0 to derivation.


In your derivation on fourth line,  you have removed  (a-b) = (a-b) from both side which is to say  (a-b) divided by (a-b)  equals 1. But since  a =b , you are basicially   writing 0 divided by 0 equals 1.
Which is wrong.  We should always avoid  situation like 0 divided by 0 as it is indeterminate.
