It is proved that a function is nondecreasing if it is Baire one and Darboux and fulfills Lusin’s condition (N), and if its derivative is non-negative for almost every point at which the function is derivable. Using this result, a process to formulate various results on the existence and the valuation of indeterminate forms via various monotonicity theorems is illustrated. In particular, the ordinary Bernoulli-L’Hospital rule and some of its variations obtained recenty by A. M. Ostrowski are generalized.
