Question:

\(\displaystyle\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{3x} - 3}{\sqrt{2x - 4} - \sqrt{2}}\) is equal to :

Show Hint

The limit is of the form 0/0; rationalise numerator and denominator to cancel the factor \((x - 3)\).

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

At \(x = 3\), numerator \(\sqrt{9} - 3 = 0\) and denominator \(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2} = 0\), so it is a 0/0 form.
\(\sqrt{3x} - 3 = \frac{3x - 9}{\sqrt{3x} + 3} = \frac{3(x - 3)}{\sqrt{3x} + 3}\).
\(\sqrt{2x - 4} - \sqrt{2} = \frac{2x - 6}{\sqrt{2x-4} + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{2(x - 3)}{\sqrt{2x-4} + \sqrt{2}}\).
Limit \(= \lim_{x\to 3} \frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{2x-4} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3x} + 3} = \frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\).
Answer: (2) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
