  • $0$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $2$
  • D

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0$
a
(a)$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\theta \to \pi /2} \,\,\frac{{1 - \sin \theta }}{{\cos \theta }} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\theta \to \pi /2} \,\,\frac{{{{\left( {\cos \frac{\theta }{2} - \sin \frac{\theta }{2}} \right)}^2}}}{{\left( {\cos \frac{\theta }{2} - \sin \frac{\theta }{2}} \right)\,\left( {\cos \frac{\theta }{2} + \sin \frac{\theta }{2}} \right)}} = 0$.
