Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) does not exist.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \text { L.H.L. }=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{x}{|x|+x^2} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{x}{-x+x^2} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{1}{x-1}=-1 \\
& \text { R.H.L. }=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{x}{|x|+x^2} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{x}{x+x^2} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{1}{1+x}=1 \\
& =\text { L.H.L. } \neq \text { R.H.L. }
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Limit does not exist.
