    \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{3x-a}-\sqrt{x+a}}{x-a}=\]

    A)                 \[\sqrt{2}a\]

    B)                 \[1/\sqrt{2a}\]

    C)                 2a

    D)                 \[1/2a\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{\sqrt{3x-a}-\sqrt{x+a}}{x-a}\]                    \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{\sqrt{3x-a}-\sqrt{x+a}}{(x-a)}\times \frac{\sqrt{3x-a}+\sqrt{x+a}}{\sqrt{3x-a}+\sqrt{x+a}}\]                    \[=\frac{2}{2\sqrt{2a}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2a}}\]            Aliter : Apply L-Hospital?s rule            \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{\sqrt{3x-a}-\sqrt{x+a}}{x-a}=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{3}{2\,\sqrt{3x-a}}-\frac{1}{2\,\sqrt{x+a}}\]                                                                          \[=\frac{3}{2\sqrt{2a}}-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2a}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2a}}.\]
