Correct answer: B

  1. We need to evaluate
L=lim⁡x→33x−32x−4−2.L=\lim_{x\to 3}\frac{\sqrt{3x}-3}{\sqrt{2x-4}-\sqrt2}.L=x→3lim​2x−4​−2​3x​−3​.
  1. Direct substitution gives
3(3)−3=9−3=0,\sqrt{3(3)}-3=\sqrt9-3=0,3(3)​−3=9​−3=0,

and

2(3)−4−2=2−2=0.\sqrt{2(3)-4}-\sqrt2=\sqrt2-\sqrt2=0.2(3)−4​−2​=2​−2​=0.

So the limit is of the indeterminate form 00\frac{0}{0}00​.

  1. Rationalize both numerator and denominator:

For the numerator,

3x−3=(3x−3)(3x+3)3x+3=3x−93x+3=3(x−3)3x+3.\sqrt{3x}-3=\frac{(\sqrt{3x}-3)(\sqrt{3x}+3)}{\sqrt{3x}+3} =\frac{3x-9}{\sqrt{3x}+3} =\frac{3(x-3)}{\sqrt{3x}+3}.3x​−3=3x​+3(3x​−3)(3x​+3)​=3x​+33x−9​=3x​+33(x−3)​.

For the denominator,

2x−4−2=(2x−4−2)(2x−4+2)2x−4+2=(2x−4)−22x−4+2=2(x−3)2x−4+2.\sqrt{2x-4}-\sqrt2 =\frac{(\sqrt{2x-4}-\sqrt2)(\sqrt{2x-4}+\sqrt2)}{\sqrt{2x-4}+\sqrt2} =\frac{(2x-4)-2}{\sqrt{2x-4}+\sqrt2} =\frac{2(x-3)}{\sqrt{2x-4}+\sqrt2}.2x−4​−2​=2x−4​+2​(2x−4​−2​)(2x−4​+2​)​=2x−4​+2​(2x−4)−2​=2x−4​+2​2(x−3)​.
  1. Substitute these into the limit:
L=lim⁡x→33(x−3)3x+32(x−3)2x−4+2.L=\lim_{x\to 3} \frac{\frac{3(x-3)}{\sqrt{3x}+3}}{\frac{2(x-3)}{\sqrt{2x-4}+\sqrt2}}.L=x→3lim​2x−4​+2​2(x−3)​3x​+33(x−3)​​.
  1. Cancel the common factor (x−3)(x-3)(x−3):
L=lim⁡x→333x+3⋅2x−4+22.L=\lim_{x\to 3} \frac{3}{\sqrt{3x}+3}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2x-4}+\sqrt2}{2}.L=x→3lim​3x​+33​⋅22x−4​+2​​.
  1. Now substitute x=3x=3x=3:
L=39+3⋅2+22=33+3⋅222=36⋅2=22.L=\frac{3}{\sqrt9+3}\cdot \frac{\sqrt2+\sqrt2}{2} =\frac{3}{3+3}\cdot \frac{2\sqrt2}{2} =\frac{3}{6}\cdot \sqrt2 =\frac{\sqrt2}{2}.L=9​+33​⋅22​+2​​=3+33​⋅222​​=63​⋅2​=22​​.
  1. Simplify:
22=12.\frac{\sqrt2}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}.22​​=2​1​.

Hence,

12.\boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt2}}.2​1​​.

So the correct option is B.
