Q. If $f(x)$ is differentiable and strictly increasing function, then the value of $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{f\left( x^{2} \right) - f(x)}{f(x) - f(0)}$ is

A) 1
B) 0
C) -1
D) 2
Explanation

(c)
Here, $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{f\left( x^{2} \right) - f(x)}{f(x) - f(0)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{f^{'}\left( x^{2} \right).2x - f^{'}(x)}{f^{'}(x)}$
$= \frac{- f^{'}(0)}{f^{'}(0)} = - 1$
