JEE Main 2025 — 22 January, Morning Shift — Question 10

If ∑r=1nTr=(2n−1)(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)64\sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{(2 \mathrm{n}-1)(2 \mathrm{n}+1)(2 \mathrm{n}+3)(2 \mathrm{n}+5)}{64}, then lim⁡n→∞∑r=1n(1Tr)\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{r=1}^{n}\left(\frac{1}{T_{r}}\right) is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    1

  2. Option B:

    0

  3. Option C:

    23\frac{2}{3}

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    13\frac{1}{3}

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

Tn=Sn−Sn−1\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{n}}=\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}-\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}-1}

⇒Tn=18(2n−1)(2n+1)(2n+3)\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{8}(2 \mathrm{n}-1)(2 \mathrm{n}+1)(2 \mathrm{n}+3)

⇒1 Tn=8(2n−1)(2n+1)(2n+3)\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{n}}}=\frac{8}{(2 \mathrm{n}-1)(2 \mathrm{n}+1)(2 \mathrm{n}+3)}

lim⁡n→∞∑r=1n1Tr=lim⁡n→∞8∑r=1n1(2n−1)(2n+1)(2n+3)\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{1}{T_{r}}=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} 8 \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{1}{(2 n-1)(2 n+1)(2 n+3)}

=lim⁡n→∞84∑(1(2n−1)(2n+1)−1(2n+1)(2n+3))=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{8}{4} \sum\left(\frac{1}{(2 n-1)(2 n+1)}-\frac{1}{(2 n+1)(2 n+3)}\right)

=lim⁡n→∞2[(11.3−13.5)+(13.5−15.7)+…]=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} 2\left[\left(\frac{1}{1.3}-\frac{1}{3.5}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{3.5}-\frac{1}{5.7}\right)+\ldots\right]

=23=\frac{2}{3}.
