Correct answer: A

  1. Given limit

We need to evaluate

L=lim⁡x→π2tan⁡2x(2sin⁡2x+3sin⁡x+4−sin⁡2x+6sin⁡x+2).L=\lim_{x\to \frac\pi2}\tan^2 x\left(\sqrt{2\sin^2 x+3\sin x+4}-\sqrt{\sin^2 x+6\sin x+2}\right).L=x→2π​lim​tan2x(2sin2x+3sinx+4​−sin2x+6sinx+2​).

As x→π2x\to \frac\pi2x→2π​, we have sin⁡x→1\sin x\to 1sinx→1 and tan⁡2x→∞\tan^2 x\to \inftytan2x→∞, while the bracket tends to

2+3+4−1+6+2=3−3=0.\sqrt{2+3+4}-\sqrt{1+6+2}=3-3=0.2+3+4​−1+6+2​=3−3=0.

So this is of the indeterminate form ∞⋅0\infty\cdot 0∞⋅0.


  1. Rationalize the expression inside the bracket

Let

A=2sin⁡2x+3sin⁡x+4,B=sin⁡2x+6sin⁡x+2.A=2\sin^2 x+3\sin x+4,\qquad B=\sin^2 x+6\sin x+2.A=2sin2x+3sinx+4,B=sin2x+6sinx+2.

Then

A−B=A−BA+B.\sqrt A-\sqrt B=\frac{A-B}{\sqrt A+\sqrt B}.A​−B​=A​+B​A−B​.

Hence

L=lim⁡x→π2tan⁡2x⋅A−BA+B.L=\lim_{x\to \frac\pi2}\tan^2 x\cdot \frac{A-B}{\sqrt A+\sqrt B}.L=x→2π​lim​tan2x⋅A​+B​A−B​.

Now,

A−B=(2sin⁡2x+3sin⁡x+4)−(sin⁡2x+6sin⁡x+2)A-B=(2\sin^2 x+3\sin x+4)-(\sin^2 x+6\sin x+2)A−B=(2sin2x+3sinx+4)−(sin2x+6sinx+2) =sin⁡2x−3sin⁡x+2.=\sin^2 x-3\sin x+2.=sin2x−3sinx+2.

Factorize:

sin⁡2x−3sin⁡x+2=(sin⁡x−1)(sin⁡x−2).\sin^2 x-3\sin x+2=(\sin x-1)(\sin x-2).sin2x−3sinx+2=(sinx−1)(sinx−2).

So,

L=lim⁡x→π2tan⁡2x⋅(sin⁡x−1)(sin⁡x−2)A+B.L=\lim_{x\to \frac\pi2}\tan^2 x\cdot \frac{(\sin x-1)(\sin x-2)}{\sqrt A+\sqrt B}.L=x→2π​lim​tan2x⋅A​+B​(sinx−1)(sinx−2)​.
  1. Use identities near x=π2x=\frac\pi2x=2π​

Recall

tan⁡2x=sin⁡2xcos⁡2x,\tan^2 x=\frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x},tan2x=cos2xsin2x​,

and

1−sin⁡2x=cos⁡2x  ⟹  (1−sin⁡x)(1+sin⁡x)=cos⁡2x.1-\sin^2 x=\cos^2 x \implies (1-\sin x)(1+\sin x)=\cos^2 x.1−sin2x=cos2x⟹(1−sinx)(1+sinx)=cos2x.

Thus

sin⁡x−1=−(1−sin⁡x)=−cos⁡2x1+sin⁡x.\sin x-1=-(1-\sin x)=-\frac{\cos^2 x}{1+\sin x}.sinx−1=−(1−sinx)=−1+sinxcos2x​.

Substitute this:

L=lim⁡x→π2sin⁡2xcos⁡2x⋅(−cos⁡2x1+sin⁡x)(sin⁡x−2)A+B.L=\lim_{x\to \frac\pi2}\frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x}\cdot \frac{\left(-\frac{\cos^2 x}{1+\sin x}\right)(\sin x-2)}{\sqrt A+\sqrt B}.L=x→2π​lim​cos2xsin2x​⋅A​+B​(−1+sinxcos2x​)(sinx−2)​.

The cos⁡2x\cos^2 xcos2x cancels:

L=lim⁡x→π2−sin⁡2x(sin⁡x−2)(1+sin⁡x)(A+B).L=\lim_{x\to \frac\pi2}-\frac{\sin^2 x(\sin x-2)}{(1+\sin x)(\sqrt A+\sqrt B)}.L=x→2π​lim​−(1+sinx)(A​+B​)sin2x(sinx−2)​.
  1. Now substitute sin⁡x→1\sin x\to 1sinx→1

As x→π2x\to \frac\pi2x→2π​:

  • sin⁡x→1\sin x\to 1sinx→1
  • sin⁡2x→1\sin^2 x\to 1sin2x→1
  • sin⁡x−2→−1\sin x-2\to -1sinx−2→−1
  • 1+sin⁡x→21+\sin x\to 21+sinx→2
  • A→9A\to 9A→9, so A→3\sqrt A\to 3A​→3
  • B→9B\to 9B→9, so B→3\sqrt B\to 3B​→3

Therefore,

L=−1⋅(−1)2(3+3)=112.L=-\frac{1\cdot(-1)}{2(3+3)}=\frac{1}{12}.L=−2(3+3)1⋅(−1)​=121​.
  1. Option check

Thus,

112\boxed{\frac{1}{12}}121​​

which corresponds to Option A.
