Solution

Given `lim_(x -> 4) |x - 4|/(x - 4)` 

L.H.L. = `lim_(x -> 4^-) (-(x - 4))/(x - 4) = - 1`  ......`[because  |x - 4| = -(x - 4)  "if" x < 4]`

R.H.L. = `lim_(x -> 4^+) (x - 4)/(x - 4)` = 1   ......`[because |x - 4| = (x - 4)  "if"  x > 4]`

Since L.H.L. ≠ R.H.L.

Hence, the limit does not exist.
