Solution

The correct option is B
False

When we find a limit, we don't consider the value of the function at that point. We look for the value of

the function close to the point.

In the above graph, f(x) is not defined. We can still say that the limit exists.

Q. For the limit of a function f(x) to exist at a point 'a', need not exist finitely.

$lim x \to a f (x)$ will be closer to $f (a + 2) t h a n f (a + 3)$ .

If both $lim x \to a f (x)$ and $lim x \to a g (x)$ and exist finitely and $lim x \to a g (x) = 0$ , then
$lim x \to a \frac{f (x)}{g (x)} = \frac{lim x \to a f (x)}{lim x \to a g (x)}$

$lim x \to a [f (x) + g (x)] = lim x \to a f (x) + lim x \to a g (x)$
is valid if $lim x \to a f (x)$ does not exists?
