Ans:
Let,
$f\left( x \right) = \dfrac{{\sin \left[ x \right]}}{{\left[ x \right]}},{\text{ }}\left[ x \right] \ne 0$
$0,{\text{ }}\left[ x \right] = 0$
${\text{LHL}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f(x)$
${\text{ }} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} \dfrac{{\sin [x]}}{{[x]}}$
${\text{ }} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \dfrac{{\sin [0 - h]}}{{[0 - h]}}$
${\text{ }} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \dfrac{{ - \sin [ - h]}}{{[ - h]}} = - 1$
${\text{RHL}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x)$
${\text{ }} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} \dfrac{{\sin [x]}}{{[x]}}$
${\text{ }} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} \dfrac{{\sin [0 + h]}}{{[0 + h]}}$
${\text{ }} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \dfrac{{\sin [h]}}{{[h]}} = 1$
\[{\text{LHL}} \ne {\text{RHL}}\]
Therefore, the limit does not exist.
