    If\[f(x)=\frac{2\sqrt{x+4}}{\sin 2x},(x\ne 0)\]is continuous at \[x=0,\]then\[f(0)\]is equal to

    A)  1/4              

    B)  \[-1/4\]

    C)  1/8              

    D)  \[-1/8\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Since,\[f(x)\]is continuous at\[x=0\] \[\therefore \] \[f({{0}^{-}})=f(0)=f({{0}^{+}})\] \[f({{0}^{-}})=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2-\sqrt{(0-h)+4}}{\sin 2(0-h)}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2-\sqrt{(4-h)}}{-\sin 2h}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{0-\frac{1}{2}{{(4-h)}^{-1/2}}(-1)}{-2\cos 2h}\] (using L-Hospital rule) \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{-1}{2.2.\sqrt{4-h}\cos 2h}\] \[=\frac{-1}{2.2.2}=-\frac{1}{8}\]
