- A 0
- B \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
- C \(\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}\)
- D \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}+1)}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
By rationalising, we get
\(\begin{aligned}
& \lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+y^4}-\sqrt{2}}}{y^4} \\
& =\lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{1+\sqrt{1+y^4}-2}{y^4\left(\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+y^4}}+\sqrt{2}\right)} \\
& =\lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1+y^4}-1}{y^4\left(\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+y^4}}+\sqrt{2}\right)} \\
& =\lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1+y^4}-1}{y^4\left(\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+y^4}}+\sqrt{2}\right)} \times \frac{\sqrt{1+y^4}+1}{\sqrt{1+y^4}+1} \\
& =\lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{y^4}{y^4\left(\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+y^4}}+\sqrt{2}\right)\left(\sqrt{1+y^4}+1\right)} \\
& =\frac{1}{(\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+0}+\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{1+0}+1)}}=\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}
\end{aligned}\)
