Let's consider the 2 limits:
R = x → 0 + lim x s i n x
L = x → 0 − lim x s i n x
In either case, x s i n x < 1 for x = 0 ± δ . The ratio approaches the limiting value 1 as x approaches 0. However, the ratio is never equal to 1.
⇒ ⌊ x → 0 lim x s i n k x ⌋ = ⌊ x → 0 lim k × k x s i n k x ⌋
No doubt, the limiting value is k but as such it never becomes equal to k and stays smaller than k .
Hence,
⌊ x → 0 lim k × k x s i n k x ⌋ = k − 1
⇒ k = 1 ∑ 1 0 ⌊ x → 0 lim x s i n k x ⌋ = k = 1 ∑ 1 0 k − 1 = 0 + 1 + … + 9 = 4 5
