What does “Standard limit” actually mean in Limits & Continuity, and why does it matter for JEE?

lim(x→0) sin x / x = 1 is a key result used everywhere.

In simple words: lim(x→0) sin x / x = 1 is a key result used everywhere. Getting Standard limit clear matters because JEE questions on Limits & Continuity usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.

Common mistake

Memory tip

0/0 is indeterminate — use standard limits or L'Hôpital's rule.
