Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Look at the first limit $k$.
We must evaluate $k=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{|x|}{\sqrt{x^4+4x^2+5}}$.
Step 2: Substitute the limiting behaviour.
As $x\to0$, the numerator $|x|\to0$ while the denominator $\sqrt{x^4+4x^2+5}\to\sqrt{5}$, which is nonzero.
Step 3: Conclude $k$.
A vanishing numerator over a nonzero limit gives $k=\dfrac{0}{\sqrt5}=0$.
Step 4: Look at the second limit $l$.
Here $l=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}x^4\sin\!\left(\dfrac{1}{3\sqrt{x}}\right)$. The sine is bounded between $-1$ and $1$.
Step 5: Apply the squeeze theorem.
Then $-x^4\le x^4\sin(\cdot)\le x^4$, and both bounds tend to $0$ as $x\to0$, so $l=0$.
Step 6: Add the parts.
Therefore $k+l=0+0=0$.
\[ \boxed{0} \]
