Correct answer: A

  1. Given limit

We need to evaluate

L=lim⁡h→02{3sin⁡(π6+h)−cos⁡(π6+h)3 h(3cos⁡h−sin⁡h)}.L=\lim_{h\to 0}2\left\{\frac{\sqrt 3\sin\left(\frac\pi6+h\right)-\cos\left(\frac\pi6+h\right)}{\sqrt 3\,h\left(\sqrt 3\cos h-\sin h\right)}\right\}.L=h→0lim​2{3​h(3​cosh−sinh)3​sin(6π​+h)−cos(6π​+h)​}.

So,

L=2lim⁡h→03sin⁡(π6+h)−cos⁡(π6+h)3 h(3cos⁡h−sin⁡h).L=2\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sqrt 3\sin\left(\frac\pi6+h\right)-\cos\left(\frac\pi6+h\right)}{\sqrt 3\,h\left(\sqrt 3\cos h-\sin h\right)}.L=2h→0lim​3​h(3​cosh−sinh)3​sin(6π​+h)−cos(6π​+h)​.
  1. Expand the numerator

Use angle addition formulas:

sin⁡(π6+h)=sin⁡π6cos⁡h+cos⁡π6sin⁡h=12cos⁡h+32sin⁡h,\sin\left(\frac\pi6+h\right)=\sin\frac\pi6\cos h+\cos\frac\pi6\sin h =\frac12\cos h+\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\sin h,sin(6π​+h)=sin6π​cosh+cos6π​sinh=21​cosh+23​​sinh, cos⁡(π6+h)=cos⁡π6cos⁡h−sin⁡π6sin⁡h=32cos⁡h−12sin⁡h.\cos\left(\frac\pi6+h\right)=\cos\frac\pi6\cos h-\sin\frac\pi6\sin h =\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\cos h-\frac12\sin h.cos(6π​+h)=cos6π​cosh−sin6π​sinh=23​​cosh−21​sinh.

Now,

3sin⁡(π6+h)=3(12cos⁡h+32sin⁡h)=32cos⁡h+32sin⁡h.\sqrt3\sin\left(\frac\pi6+h\right) =\sqrt3\left(\frac12\cos h+\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\sin h\right) =\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\cos h+\frac32\sin h.3​sin(6π​+h)=3​(21​cosh+23​​sinh)=23​​cosh+23​sinh.

Hence,

3sin⁡(π6+h)−cos⁡(π6+h)=(32cos⁡h+32sin⁡h)−(32cos⁡h−12sin⁡h).\sqrt3\sin\left(\frac\pi6+h\right)-\cos\left(\frac\pi6+h\right) =\left(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\cos h+\frac32\sin h\right)-\left(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\cos h-\frac12\sin h\right).3​sin(6π​+h)−cos(6π​+h)=(23​​cosh+23​sinh)−(23​​cosh−21​sinh).

The cosine terms cancel:

=32sin⁡h+12sin⁡h=2sin⁡h.=\frac32\sin h+\frac12\sin h=2\sin h.=23​sinh+21​sinh=2sinh.

So the limit becomes

L=2lim⁡h→02sin⁡h3 h(3cos⁡h−sin⁡h)=4lim⁡h→0sin⁡h3 h(3cos⁡h−sin⁡h).L=2\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{2\sin h}{\sqrt3\,h\left(\sqrt3\cos h-\sin h\right)} =4\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sin h}{\sqrt3\,h\left(\sqrt3\cos h-\sin h\right)}.L=2h→0lim​3​h(3​cosh−sinh)2sinh​=4h→0lim​3​h(3​cosh−sinh)sinh​.
  1. Separate the standard limit
L=43lim⁡h→0(sin⁡hh)13cos⁡h−sin⁡h.L=\frac{4}{\sqrt3}\lim_{h\to 0}\left(\frac{\sin h}{h}\right)\frac{1}{\sqrt3\cos h-\sin h}.L=3​4​h→0lim​(hsinh​)3​cosh−sinh1​.

As h→0h\to 0h→0,

sin⁡hh→1,cos⁡h→1,sin⁡h→0.\frac{\sin h}{h}\to 1,\qquad \cos h\to 1,\qquad \sin h\to 0.hsinh​→1,cosh→1,sinh→0.

Therefore,

3cos⁡h−sin⁡h→3.\sqrt3\cos h-\sin h\to \sqrt3.3​cosh−sinh→3​.

Thus,

L=43⋅1⋅13=43.L=\frac{4}{\sqrt3}\cdot 1\cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt3}=\frac{4}{3}.L=3​4​⋅1⋅3​1​=34​.
  1. Check options

The value is

43.\boxed{\frac{4}{3}}.34​​.

So the correct option is A.
