    \[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt{x}}{h}=\] [Roorkee 1983]

    A)                 \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\]

    B)                 \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\]

    C)                 \[2\sqrt{x}\]

    D)                 \[\sqrt{x}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,\frac{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt{x}}{h}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,\frac{{{(\sqrt{x+h})}^{2}}-{{(\sqrt{x})}^{2}}}{h\,(\sqrt{x+h}+\sqrt{x})}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\].            Aliter : Apply L-Hospital rule,                                 \[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,\frac{\sqrt{x+h}-\sqrt{x}}{h}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+h}}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\].
