Answer

\[ \begin{array}{l} \frac{\pi}{2} \end{array} \]

Work Step by Step

We have to find the limit: \[ \begin{array}{l} \lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(0,1)} \tan ^{-1} \frac{1+x^{2}}{x^{2}+(y-1)^{2}} \\ =\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(0,1)} \tan ^{-1} \frac{x^{2}+1}{x^{2}+(y-1)^{2}} \\ =\tan ^{-1} \frac{0^{2}+1}{0^{2}+(1-1)^{2}} \\ =\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{0}\right) \\ =\tan ^{-1}(\infty) \\ =\frac{\pi}{2} \\ \frac{\pi}{2} \end{array} \]
