(Expression on numerator)k
= n+n^2+n^3+........+n^n)
= n(1+n+n^2+....+n^(n-1))
       n^n-1
= n*--x------
        n-1
Therefore, (expression on the numerator)/n^n
    n          1
= -----* (1- ---- )k
   n-1        n^n
                             n               1
Or,  lim                   -----  *    (1- ---- )
   n-> infinity            n-1              n^n
= 1*1
= 1

Lim (Expression on the denominator)/n^n
n-> infinity
                1      2              (n-1)^n     n^n
= lim         ----- + ----+..........+ --------+ -------
  n -> ∞ n^n    n^n               n^n       n^n       

                

= lim              (1^n + (1-1/n)^n +(1-2/n)^n+.......)
  n-> infinity
Now, 

lim               (1^n + (1-1/n)^n +(1-2/n)^n+.......)
  n-> infinity
= 1+ 1/e + 1/e^2+.......
   1       e
=----- = -------
 1-1/e     e-1
Consequently, required limit 
= 1/(e/e-1)
= (e-1)/e 
= 1- 1/e
