Perfect in limits...hmmmm?

I think you have attained mastery in limits. So try out the following two problems..Similar but quite different......and please don't hesitate to comment...

So here they are:

1.

2.

I think its obvious that the answer is not obvious!

  1. I think the answer to both the limits should be 1, but, then if the answer was so obvious, why would you be asking this question?

  4. well, if the ans is not one, i dont think I can answer it! All that I can try is: limit doesnt exist

  5. Well, I have got the correct answers but not the correct permutation.

    The question doesn't involve any high order maths but just one piece of thinking which differentiates b/w the 2 questions

  6. Shashwat, your answer is completely incomplete without a reason. You just can't say that the limit does not exist. Any argument in your favour?
