    \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{a+2x}-\sqrt{3x}}{\sqrt{3a+x}-2\sqrt{x}}=\] [IIT 1978; Kurukshetra CEE 1996]

    A)                 \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    B)                 \[\frac{2}{3\sqrt{3}}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    D)                 \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{\sqrt{a+2x}-\sqrt{3x}}{\sqrt{3a+x}-2\sqrt{x}}\]                    \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{\sqrt{a+2x}-\sqrt{3x}}{\sqrt{3a+x}-2\sqrt{x}}\times \frac{\sqrt{a+2x}+\sqrt{3x}}{\sqrt{a+2x}+\sqrt{3x}}\times \frac{\sqrt{3a+x}+2\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{3a+x}+2\sqrt{x}}\]            \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{3a+x}+2\sqrt{x}}{3\,(\sqrt{a+2x}+\sqrt{3x)}}=\frac{2}{3\sqrt{3}}\].                                 Aliter : Apply L-Hospital?s rule.
