    \[\underset{y\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{(x+y)\sec (x+y)-x\sec x}{y}=\] [AI CBSE 1990]

    A)                 \[\sec x(x\tan x+1)\]

    B)                 \[x\tan x+\sec x\]

    C)                 \[x\sec x+\tan x\]

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[\underset{y\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\left\{ \frac{x\,\left\{ \sec \,(x+y)-\sec x \right\}}{y}+\sec \,(x+y) \right\}\]                    \[=\underset{y\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\left[ \frac{x}{y}\,\left\{ \frac{\cos x-\cos \,(x+y)}{\cos \,(x+y)\,\cos x} \right\} \right]+\underset{y\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\sec \,(x+y)\]                    \[=\underset{y\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\left[ \frac{x\sin \,\left( x+\frac{y}{2} \right)}{\cos \,(x+y)\,.\,\,\cos x}\,.\,\frac{\sin \,\left( \frac{y}{2} \right)}{\,\,\,\frac{y}{2}} \right]+\sec x\]                    = xtanxsecx + secx = secx(xtanx+1).            Aliter : Apply L-Hospital?s rule,            \[\underset{y\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{(x+y)\,\sec \,(x+y)-x\,\sec x}{y}\]            \[=\underset{y\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{(x+y)\,\sec \,(x+y)\tan \,(x+y)+\sec \,(x+y)-0}{1}\] {Differentiating w.r.t.y assuming x as constant}                                 \[=x\sec x\tan x+\sec x.=\sec x(x\tan x+1)\]
