Step-by-Step Verified Solution

It is 1∞{1^\infty } form

L=elim⁡n→∞(1+12+13+...1nn)L = {e^{\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \left( {{{1 + {1 \over 2} + {1 \over 3} + ...{1 \over n}} \over n}} \right)}}

S=1+(12+13)+(14+15+16+17)+(18+.........+115)S = 1 + \left( {{1 \over 2} + {1 \over 3}} \right) + \left( {{1 \over 4} + {1 \over 5} + {1 \over 6} + {1 \over 7}} \right) + \left( {{1 \over 8} + ......... + {1 \over {15}}} \right)

S < 1 + \left( {{1 \over 2} + {1 \over 2}} \right) + \left( {{1 \over 4} + {1 \over 4} + {1 \over 4} + {1 \over 4}} \right).......... + \underbrace {\left( {{1 \over {{2^P}}} + ............ + {1 \over {{2^P}}}} \right)}_{{2^P}times}

S < 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + ....... + 1

S < P + 1

∴\therefore L=elim⁡P→∞(P+1)2PL = {e^{\mathop {\lim }\limits_{P \to \infty } {{(P + 1)} \over {{2^P}}}}}

⇒L=eo=1\Rightarrow L = {e^o} = 1
