[MP PET 1998]

Options:

A) $ \log ,(2/e) $

D) e/2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{4.5}+\frac{1}{6.7}+….. $ $ =( \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3} )+( \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5} )+( \frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{7} )+……\infty =1-{\log_{e}}2 $ $ ={\log_{e}}e-{\log_{e}}2=\log ( \frac{e}{2} ) $ .
