    \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left\{ \frac{\sin x-x+\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{6}}{{{x}^{5}}} \right\}=\] [MNR 1985]

    A)                 1/120

    B)                 ?1/120

    C)                 1/20

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Expand \[\sin x\] and then solve.            Aliter : Apply L-Hospital?s rule            \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin x-x+\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{6}}{{{x}^{5}}}=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\cos x-1+\frac{3{{x}^{2}}}{6}}{5{{x}^{4}}}\]            \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{-\sin x+\frac{6x}{6}}{20{{x}^{3}}}=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{-\cos x+1}{60{{x}^{2}}}=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin x}{120\,x}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\cos x}{120}=\frac{1}{120}.\]
