Newton-Raphson — order of convergence at a double root

Let {xn}\{x_n\} be a convergent iterative sequence generated by Newton-Raphson method for solving the equation sin⁡x−1=0\sin x-1=0 such that xn→π2x_n\to\frac{\pi}{2} as n→∞n\to\infty. For n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, let en=xn−π2e_n=x_n-\frac{\pi}{2}. Let p>0p>0 be such that lim⁡n→∞∣en+1∣∣en∣p\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{|e_{n+1}|}{|e_n|^{p}} exists and is non-zero. Then which of the following statements are true?
