    \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{x}}-\sqrt{x}}\]is equal to

    A) \[0\]                                     

    B) \[1\]

    C) \[-1\]                                    

    D)  does not exist

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We have,\[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{x}}-\sqrt{h}}\]     \[RHL=\underset{x\to {{0}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{x}}-\sqrt{x}}\]                 \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{0+h}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{h}}-\sqrt{h}}\]       \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{h}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{h}}-\sqrt{h}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{h}}+\sqrt{h}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{h}}+\sqrt{h}}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{h}\left( \sqrt{4-\sqrt{h}}+\sqrt{h} \right)}{4-\sqrt{h}-h}=\frac{0}{4}=0\] \[LHL=\underset{x\to {{0}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{h}}-\sqrt{-h}}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{-h}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{h}}-\sqrt{-h}}\] This limit does not exist, since function it not defined for negative value of x. Hence,\[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{4-\sqrt{x}}-\sqrt{x}}\]does not exist.
