  2. Bd\sqrt{d}
  3. C11
  4. D22

Correct answer

C. 11

Step-by-step solution

Given,

a1,a2,a3,....,an{a}_{1}, {a}_{2}, {a}_{3}, . . . . , {a}_{n} are terms of an A.PA . P,

So common difference will be,

d=a2−a1=a3−a2=........=an−an−1d = {a}_{2} - {a}_{1} = {a}_{3} - {a}_{2} = . . . . . . . . = {a}_{n} - {a}_{n - 1}

Now solving,

lim⁡n→∞dn(1a1+a2+1a2+a3+…+1an−1+an)\lim_{n \to \infty}\sqrt{\dfrac{d}{n}}\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{{a}_{1}} + \sqrt{{a}_{2}}} + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{{a}_{2}} + \sqrt{{a}_{3}}} + \ldots + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{{a}_{n - 1}} + \sqrt{{a}_{n}}}\right)

=lim⁡n→∞dn(a2−a1a2−a1+a3−a2a3−a2+…+an−an−1an−an−1)= \lim_{n \to \infty}\sqrt{\dfrac{d}{n}}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{{a}_{2}} - \sqrt{{a}_{1}}}{{a}_{2} - {a}_{1}} + \dfrac{\sqrt{{a}_{3}} - \sqrt{{a}_{2}}}{{a}_{3} - {a}_{2}} + \ldots + \dfrac{\sqrt{{a}_{n}} - \sqrt{{a}_{n - 1}}}{{a}_{n} - {a}_{n - 1}}\right)

=lim⁡n→∞dn×1d(an−a1)= \lim_{n \to \infty}\sqrt{\dfrac{d}{n}} \times \dfrac{1}{d}\left(\sqrt{{a}_{n}} - \sqrt{{a}_{1}}\right)

Now using the formula an=a1+(n−1)d{a}_{n} = {a}_{1} + \left(n - 1\right)d we get,

=lim⁡n→∞1d(a1+(n−1)d−a1n)= \lim_{n \to \infty}\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{{a}_{1} + ( n - 1 ) d} - \sqrt{{a}_{1}}}{\sqrt{n}}\right)

=lim⁡n→∞1d(n(a1n+d−dn−a1n)n)= \lim_{n \to \infty}\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{n}\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{{a}_{1}}{n} + d - \dfrac{d}{n}} - \sqrt{\dfrac{{a}_{1}}{n}}\right)}{\sqrt{n}}\right)

=1d((0+d−0−0))= \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}\left(\left(\sqrt{0 + d - 0} - \sqrt{0}\right)\right)

=1d×d=1= \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}} \times \sqrt{d} = 1
