Meaning of x tends to zero 
Suppose that the maid of Neeta has to pay a debt of Rs. 
104 to Neeta. She pays 50% of a debt every month, when 
she will be able to repay the whole amount of debt.  
 
Solution: 
Let x be the debt at the end of the any month.  
At the end of 1
st
 month, x = Rs. 52 
At the end of 2
nd
 month, x = Rs. 26 
At the end of 3
rd
 month, x = Rs. 13
