- A \(\sqrt{2}\)
- B \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
- C 0
- D \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\sqrt{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned}
& \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1-\cos x^2}}{1-\cos x} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{2 \sin ^2 \frac{x^2}{2}}}{2 \sin ^2 \frac{x}{2}}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{2} \sin \frac{x^2}{2}}{2 \sin ^2 \frac{x}{2}}
\end{aligned}\)
Dividing numerator and denominator by \(\frac{x^2}{4}\), we get
\(\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\sin \left(\frac{x^2}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{x^2}{4}\right)}\right]}{\frac{\sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \left(\frac{x^2}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}=\frac{\left.x^2\right) \times \frac{1}{2}}{\left[\frac{x}{2}\right)}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{2}{1}=\sqrt{2}\)
& \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1-\cos x^2}}{1-\cos x} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{2 \sin ^2 \frac{x^2}{2}}}{2 \sin ^2 \frac{x}{2}}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{2} \sin \frac{x^2}{2}}{2 \sin ^2 \frac{x}{2}}
\end{aligned}\)
Dividing numerator and denominator by \(\frac{x^2}{4}\), we get
\(\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\sin \left(\frac{x^2}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{x^2}{4}\right)}\right]}{\frac{\sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \left(\frac{x^2}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}=\frac{\left.x^2\right) \times \frac{1}{2}}{\left[\frac{x}{2}\right)}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{2}{1}=\sqrt{2}\)
