    The value of\[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1-{{\cos }^{3}}x}{x\sin x\cos x}\]is

    A) \[\frac{2}{5}\]                                   

    B) \[\frac{3}{5}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{2}\]                                   

    D) \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1-{{\cos }^{3}}x}{x\sin x\cos x}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{(1-\cos x)(1+\cos x+{{\cos }^{2}}x)}{x\sin x\cos x}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2{{\sin }^{2}}(x/2)}{x\cdot 2\sin (x/2)\cos (x/2)}\]                 \[\times \frac{(1+\cos x+{{\cos }^{2}}x)}{\cos x}\]                 \[=\lim \left[ \frac{\sin (x/2)}{2(x/2)}\times \frac{1+\cos x+{{\cos }^{2}}x}{\cos (x/2)\cos x} \right]\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 3=\frac{3}{2}\]
