@Ansh Agarwal did you try taylor series

To no avail, didn't give the answer.

Taylor would work i guess? Numerator tends to $(1-\frac{x^{2}}{2})^{2}-(1-\frac{x^{2}}{2})(1+x+\frac{x^{2}}{2})+(1+x+\frac{x^{2}}{2})-\frac{x^{3}}{2}-(1-\frac{x^{2}}{2})$

This comes out to be \frac{x^{4}}{2} so min. value of n is 4 and value of limit at that is 1/2. Further L' Hopitals works out as well.

Thanks, it worked , probably made a mistake or something the first time +solved @SirLancelotDuLac @Optimus43
