                    The value of \[\operatorname{l}\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{im}}\,\frac{1}{x}\left[ {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{x+1}{2x+1} \right)-\frac{\pi }{4} \right]\]is :     JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09 April 2013)               

    A)                 1                

    B)                 \[-\frac{1}{2}\]                

    C)                 2                

    D)                 0                             

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{x}\left\{ {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{x+1}{2x+1} \right)-\frac{\pi }{4} \right\}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{x}\left\{ {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{x+1}{2x+1} \right)-{{\tan }^{-1}}(1) \right\}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{x}\cdot {{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{\frac{x+1}{2x+1}-1}{1+\frac{x+1}{2x+1}} \right\}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{x}\cdot {{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{x+1-2x-1}{2x+1+x+1} \right\}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{x}\cdot {{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{-x}{4x+2} \right\}\to \] from\[\,\left( \frac{0}{0} \right)\]                 Use L-Hospital rule                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{1+\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{(4x+2)}^{2}}}}\times \left[ -\left( \frac{4x+2-4x}{{{(4x+2)}^{2}}} \right) \right]\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,-\frac{(+2)}{{{x}^{2}}+{{(4x+2)}^{2}}}=-\frac{(+2)}{0+{{(0+2)}^{2}}}=\frac{-2}{4}=\frac{-1}{2}\]
