a)

Consider

f(x)=sin(1x).f(x)=\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right).

Notice that

limx0sin(1x)\lim_{x\to 0}\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)

does not exist, but by the given definition, for every δ>0\delta>0, we can choose ε=1\varepsilon=1 and have

0<x<δf(x)<ε=1.0<|x|<\delta \Rightarrow |f(x)|<\varepsilon=1.

b)

Consider

f(x)={1,x0,1,otherwise.f(x)= \begin{cases} 1, & x\geq 0,\\ -1, & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}

Notice that limx0f(x)\lim_{x\to 0}f(x) does not exist. Let l=0l=0. For ε1\varepsilon\leq 1, the implication is vacuously true. For ε>1\varepsilon>1, the implication holds for any δ>0\delta>0.
