Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^2 x+\cos x-1}{x^2}=\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos x-\cos ^2 x}{x^2}=\operatorname{Lim}_{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{1-\cos x}{x^2}\right) \cos x\)…
