Solution

Quick DL Method Solution

Given:

\[ \lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^4 - 1}{x - 1} = \lim_{x \to k} \frac{x^3 - k^2}{x^2 - k^2} \]

LHS using derivative:

\[ \lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^4 - 1}{x - 1} = \left.\frac{d}{dx}(x^4)\right|_{x=1} = 4x^3|_{x=1} = 4 \]

RHS using DL logic:

\[ \lim_{x \to k} \frac{x^3 - k^2}{x^2 - k^2} \approx \frac{3k^2(x - k)}{2k(x - k)} = \frac{3k}{2} \]

Equating both sides:

\[ \frac{3k}{2} = 4 \Rightarrow k = \frac{8}{3} \]

\[ \boxed{k = \frac{8}{3}} \]


Phrases PYQ
Let $f(x)=\frac{x^2-1}{|x|-1}$. Then the value of $lim_{x\to-1} f(x)$ is

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2023 PYQ

Solution

Given $f(x)=\dfrac{x^2-1}{|x|-1}$ 
$x=-2$
So $f(x)=\dfrac{(x-1)(x+1)}{-(x+1)}$ Cancel $(x+1)$: $f(x)=-(x-1)=1-x$ 
Now take the limit: 
$\lim_{x\to -1}(1-x)$
$=1-(-1)=2$

Phrases PYQ
The value of $\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\pi}{n}\left[\sin\frac{\pi}{n}+\sin\frac{2\pi}{n}+\cdots+\sin\frac{(n-1)\pi}{n}\right]$ is:

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2012 PYQ

Solution

This is a Riemann sum. 
 Rewrite the expression: 
 $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\sin\left(\frac{k\pi}{n}\right)$ 
 Let $x_k = \frac{k\pi}{n}$ 
Then spacing $\Delta x = \frac{\pi}{n}$ 
 As $n\to\infty$, this becomes: 
 $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin x , dx$ 
 Now evaluate: $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin x  dx = [-\cos x]_{0}^{\pi}$ 
 $= (-\cos\pi) - (-\cos 0)$ 
 $= -(-1) - (-1)$ 
 $= 1 + 1 = 2$ 
 $\therefore$ the value of the limit is 2. 


Phrases PYQ

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2011 PYQ

Solution

Use expansions: $\sin x = x - \frac{x^{3}}{6} + \cdots$ $\cos x = 1 - \frac{x^{2}}{2} + \cdots$ $\sqrt{x}$ near $0$ goes to $0$ Numerator: $ x + (x - \frac{x^{3}}{6}) = 2x + O(x^{3}) $ Denominator: $ \sqrt{x} - \cos x = \sqrt{x} - 1 + \frac{x^{2}}{2} + \cdots $ As $x\to 0$, denominator → $-1$ So limit = $0$.

Phrases PYQ
$\lim_{x\to3} \dfrac{\sqrt{3x}-3}{\sqrt{2x-4}-\sqrt{2}}$ is equal to 





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2019 PYQ

Solution

Rationalize numerator and denominator:

\[ \frac{\sqrt{3x}-3}{\sqrt{2x-4}-\sqrt{2}} =\frac{\dfrac{3(x-3)}{\sqrt{3x}+3}}{\dfrac{2(x-3)}{\sqrt{2x-4}+\sqrt{2}}} =\frac{3}{\sqrt{3x}+3}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{2x-4}+\sqrt{2}}{2}. \]

Now let \(x\to 3\): \(\sqrt{3x}\to 3\) and \(\sqrt{2x-4}\to \sqrt{2}\). Hence

\[ \lim_{x\to 3}=\frac{3}{3+3}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}}{2} =\frac{1}{2}\cdot\sqrt{2}=\boxed{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}}. \]

Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2024 PYQ

Solution

We need to find: $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}\left( \frac{1^x + 2^x + 3^x + 4^x}{4} \right)^{1/x}$ 
Rewrite each term: $k^x = e^{x\ln k}$ 
So: $1^x + 2^x + 3^x + 4^x = e^{0} + e^{x\ln 2} + e^{x\ln 3} + e^{x\ln 4}$ 
As $x \to 0$ use expansion: $e^{x\ln k} = 1 + x\ln k + O(x^2)$ 
So: $1^x + 2^x + 3^x + 4^x$ 
$= 1 + (1 + x\ln 2) + (1 + x\ln 3) + (1 + x\ln 4)$ $= 4 + x(\ln 2 + \ln 3 + \ln 4) + O(x^2)$ 
Thus: $\frac{1^x + 2^x + 3^x + 4^x}{4} = 1 + \frac{x(\ln 2 + \ln 3 + \ln 4)}{4} + O(x^2)$ 
Now apply the standard limit: 
$\lim_{x\to 0} (1 + kx)^{1/x} = e^{k}$ 
Here: $k = \frac{\ln 2 + \ln 3 + \ln 4}{4}$ 
Hence the limit is: $e^{(\ln 2 + \ln 3 + \ln 4)/4}$ 
Combine logs: $\ln 2 + \ln 3 + \ln 4 = \ln(2\cdot 3 \cdot 4) = \ln 24$ 
Final answer: $\boxed{24^{1/4}}$

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2024 PYQ

Solution

Evaluate: $$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x - e^{-x} - 2x}{1 - \cos x}$$

Step 1: Apply L'Hôpital's Rule (since it's 0/0):

First derivative: $$\frac{e^x + e^{-x} - 2}{\sin x}$$

Still 0/0 → Apply L'Hôpital's Rule again: $$\frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{\cos x}$$

Now, $$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1 - 1}{1} = 0$$

Final Answer: $$\boxed{0}$$

Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2017 PYQ

Solution

Given it has extremum values at x=1 and x=2
⇒f′(1)=0  and  f′(2)=0
Given f(x) is a fourth degree polynomial 
Let  $f(x)=a{x}^4+b{x}^3+c{x}^2+dx+e$
Given 
$\lim _{{x}\rightarrow0}[1+\frac{f(x)}{{x}^2}]=3$
$\lim _{{x}\rightarrow0}\lbrack1+\frac{a{x}^4+b{x}^3+c{x}^2+\mathrm{d}x+e}{{x}^2}\rbrack=3$
$\lim _{{x}\rightarrow0}\lbrack1+a{x}^2+bx+c+\frac{d}{x}+\frac{e}{{x}^2}\rbrack=3$
For limit to have finite value, value of 'd' and 'e' must be 0
⇒d=0  & e=0
Substituting x=0 in limit 
⇒ c+1=3
⇒ c=2
$f^{\prime}(x)=4a{x}^3+3b{x}^2+2cx+d$
$x=1$ and $x=2$ are extreme values,
⇒$f^{\prime}(1)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(2)=0
⇒ $4a+3b+4=0$ and $32a+12b+8=0$ 
By solving these equations
we get, $a=\frac{1}{2}$ and $b=-2$
So,
$f(x)=\frac{x^{4}}{2}-2x^{3}+2x^{2}$
⇒$f(x)=x^{2}(\frac{x^{2}}{2}-2x+2)$
⇒$f(2)=2^{2}(2-4+2)$
⇒$f(2)=0$

What is the value of $\lim _{{x}\rightarrow\infty}-(x+1)\Bigg{(}{e}^{\frac{1}{x+1}}-1\Bigg{)}$?





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2025 PYQ

Solution

We want to evaluate $ \displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} -(x+1)\left(e^{\frac{1}{x+1}} - 1\right). $ 

Rewrite it as a product: $ -(x+1)\left(e^{\frac{1}{x+1}} - 1\right) = -\dfrac{e^{\frac{1}{x+1}} - 1}{\frac{1}{x+1}}. $ 

 Now let $ t = \frac{1}{x+1} \Rightarrow t \to 0^+ $ as $ x \to \infty $. 

The expression becomes: $ -\dfrac{e^{t} - 1}{t}. $ 
Now apply L'Hospital’s Rule to the limit: $ \displaystyle \lim_{t \to 0} \dfrac{e^{t} - 1}{t} = \lim_{t \to 0} \dfrac{e^{t}}{1} = 1. $ 
 So the original limit is: $ -1. $ 
 Final Answer: $ -1 $.

$\lim_{x\to0} \dfrac{x \tan x}{(1-\cos x)}$





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2017 PYQ

Solution

Given limit is indeterminate of type $\frac{0}{0}$.

(DL Rule) Differentiate numerator and denominator:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{x\tan x}{1-\cos x}=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\tan x+x\sec^2 x}{\sin x}$

As $x\to0$, $\tan x\approx x$, $\sin x\approx x$, $\sec^2 x\approx1$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x+x}{x}=2$

Answer: $\boxed{2}$ ✅
