    The value of \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\left[ \frac{\sqrt{a+x}-\sqrt{a-x}}{x} \right]\] is  [Karnataka CET 2001]

    A)                 1

    B)                 0

    C)                 \[\sqrt{a}\]

    D)                 \[1/\sqrt{a}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\text{lim}}}\,\left[ \frac{\sqrt{a+x}-\sqrt{a-x}}{x} \right]\]                    \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\text{lim}}}\,\,\left[ \frac{(\sqrt{a+x}-\sqrt{a-x})(\sqrt{a+x}+\sqrt{a-x})}{x(\sqrt{a+x}+\sqrt{a-x})} \right]\]                                                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\text{lim}}}\,\,\left[ \frac{2x}{x(\sqrt{a+x}+\sqrt{a-x})} \right]=\frac{2}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{a}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}\].
