Hint:
We can apply L'Hopital's rule, also commonly spelled L'Hospital's rule, whenever direct substitution of a limit yields an indeterminate form. This means that the limit of a quotient of functions (i.e., an algebraic fraction) is equal to the limit of their derivatives.
In this question, we have to find value of .
The correct answer is:
We first try substitution :
=
Since the limit is in the form 0 over 0, it is indeterminate—we don’t yet know what is it. We need to do some work to put it in a form where we can determine the limit.
= ( L'Hopital's Rule for zero over zero ;)
On substituting, We get
=
We can only apply the L’Hospital’s rule if the direct substitution returns an indeterminate form, that means

A point source of light S is placed at the bottom of a vessel containing a liquid of refractive index 5/3. A person is viewing the source from above the surface. There is an opaque disc D of radius 1 cm floating on the surface of the liquid. The centre of the disc lies vertically above the source S. The liquid from the vessel is gradually drained out through a tap. The maximum height of the liquid for which the source cannot be seen at all from above is
