Given: \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\sin x}{x}\right]^{1 / x}

If \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=1 and \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=\infty, then \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)^{g\left ( x \right )}= e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \left ( f\left ( x \right ) -1\right )\left ( g\left ( x \right ) \right )}.

=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[1+\left(\frac{\sin x}{x}-1\right)\right]^{1 / x}
=e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin x}{x}-1\right) \frac{1}{x}}
=e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin x-x}{x^{2}}\right) }

Applying L-Hospital’s rule, the above expression becomes,

=e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\cos x-1}{2 x}\right)}
=e^{\frac{-1}{2} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{1-\cos x}{x}\right)}

Using the property of limit \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-\cos x}{x}=0,then the expression becomes,

=e^0
=1

Therefore,\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\sin x}{x}\right]^{1 / x}= 1
