Q. $\lim_{x\to0}\operatorname{cosec}x\left(\sqrt{2\cos^2x+3\cos x}-\sqrt{\cos^2x+\sin x+4}\right)$ is:

A) $0$
B) $\frac1{\sqrt{15}}$
C) $\frac1{2\sqrt5}$
D) $-\frac1{2\sqrt5}$
Explanation

[Solution by Dr. Abubacker] The bracket tends to $\sqrt5-\sqrt5=0$ and $\operatorname{cosec}x\to\infty$, so apply L'Hôpital to $g(x)/\sin x$: $g'(0)=\frac{-4\cos x\sin x-3\sin x}{2\sqrt{2\cos^2x+3\cos x}}\Big|_0-\frac{-2\cos x\sin x+\cos x}{2\sqrt{\cos^2x+\sin x+4}}\Big|_0=0-\frac1{2\sqrt5}$. The limit is $-\frac1{2\sqrt5}$. Answer (4).
