$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{|\sin x|}{x}$ is equal to

  • A
    1
  • B
    -1
  • Correct answer
    C
    Does not exist
  • D
    None of these

Solution

Let $l=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{[\sin x]}{x} ; \mathrm{RHL}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1$
$\mathrm{LHL}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}\left(\frac{-\sin x}{x}\right)=-\left(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\sin x}{x}\right)=-1$
$\left[|x|=\begin{array}{c}x \text { if } x \geq 0 \\ -x \text { if } x \leq 0\end{array}\right]$
As, LHL $\neq$ RHL Hence, limit $l$.does not exist.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
