Given $f(x) = x - [x]$
we have ti first check for differentiability of $f(x)$ at $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore \text{Lf}'\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\text{LHD}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big]-\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{-\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}-0-\frac{1}{2}+0}{-\text{h}}=\frac{-\text{h}}{-\text{h}}=1$
$\therefore \text{Rf}'\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\text{RHD}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big]-\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{\text{h}}$

$2$
Given $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow \pi}\frac{\text{x}^{2}\cos\text{x}}{1-\cos\text{x}}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{x}^{2}\cos\text{x}}{2\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{\text{x}^{2}}{4}\times4\cos\text{x}}{2\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)\cdot2\cos\text{x}}{\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\bigg(\frac{\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\bigg)\cdot2\cos\text{x}$
$=2\cos\text{x}0=2\times1=2$
