Tough Situations - Any Solutions?

Situation -1

You have 9 coins.
All coins are same in all aspects, except..
8 coins have same weight.
1 coin is slightly heavier.
You have a BALANCE to weigh, and 2 chances.
You have to find which coin is heavier.


Situation -2

Three people are sitting in the arrangement as shown:-

1. Sharukh Khan
2. Amir Khan
3. Salman Khan

We have 3 Red & 2 Blue Caps.

Salman can see Amir's & Sharukh's caps, but does not know what color he was wearing.
Amir can see Sharukh's cap but does not know what color cap he was wearing.
Sharukh says "I am wearing a Red cap." How?
