Limits — JEE Maths practice question

JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
limx0tan([π2]x2)x2tan([π2])sin2x\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan\left([-\pi^{2}]x^{2}\right)-x^{2}\tan\left([-\pi^{2}]\right)}{\sin^{2}x}, where [][\cdot] is GIF
Atan10+10\tan 10+10
Btan1010\tan 10-10correct
C10tan1010-\tan 10
DNone
Solution
Step 1: π3.14\pi\approx 3.14, so π29.87\pi^{2}\approx 9.87. Therefore π29.87-\pi^{2}\approx -9.87 and [π2]=10[-\pi^{2}]=-10. Step 2: Substitute:
limx0tan(10x2)x2tan(10)sin2x\lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan(-10x^{2})-x^{2}\tan(-10)}{\sin^{2}x}
Step 3: Use tan(y)=tany\tan(-y)=-\tan y:
=limx0x2tan10tan(10x2)sin2x=\lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{x^{2}\tan 10-\tan(10x^{2})}{\sin^{2}x}
Step 4: Divide top and bottom by x2x^{2}:
=limx0tan10tan(10x2)x2sin2xx2=\lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan 10-\dfrac{\tan(10x^{2})}{x^{2}}}{\dfrac{\sin^{2}x}{x^{2}}}
Step 5: Use standard limits: tan(10x2)x210\dfrac{\tan(10x^{2})}{x^{2}}\to 10 and sin2xx21\dfrac{\sin^{2}x}{x^{2}}\to 1. Step 6: Combine:
=tan10101=tan1010=\dfrac{\tan 10-10}{1}=\tan 10-10
Correct answer: (2) tan1010\tan 10-10
