Solution

"Women are physically weaker hence they should be paid less."
This statement is trying to establish the physical as well as mental superiority of men at large. It implies that physical strength should alone be the criteria for wages rather than skills and efficiency. Since ages, women have been considered emotionally and physically weak as compared to males. Hence, they are not given enough opportunities to even prove their calibre. This gender stereotyping is used as a shield to pay women less for the same job that is done by males.

In limts, we speak of the value of a function when it tends to a given number. As we say:

lim_x-->a f(x), we mean to say we are trying to find the value of f(x) as x tends to a number a.

But how close exactly is this? I mean how close to a should x be when we say x-->a. The value of x can be a + 0.0001 or it can be a + 0.000000001. So what should the value of x be as we say x tends to a?
