Question
Consider the following series:(i)
(ii)
(iii) Choose the correct option.
(ii)
(iii) Choose the correct option.
Correct answer
(B) Only (ii) and (iii) converge
Solution
We analyze each series for convergence:(i) . This is a -series with . Since , the series diverges.(ii) . Using the limit comparison test with (a convergent -series with ), or by observing it is a telescoping series: . The series converges.(iii) . Using the ratio test: . Since the limit is , the series converges (it converges to ).Thus, only (ii) and (iii) converge.
