Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \underset{x\to 2-}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{|2-h-2|}{2-h-2}=-1 $ and $ \underset{x\to 2+}{\mathop{\lim }},\frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{|2+h-2|}{2+h-2}=1 $ Hence limit does not exist.
