Q59 / 91 · KVPY 2018 (SB/SX) · Mathematics

Suppose the limit L=limn→∞n∫0111+x2ndx exists and is larger than 12. Then,

  • Correct answer
    A
    12<L<2
  • B
    2<L<3
  • C
    3<L<3
  • D
    L≥4

Solution

We have,

L=limn→∞n∫0111+x2ndx

1+x2n>1+nx2

⇒11+x2n<11+nx2

⇒∫01dx1+x2n<∫01dx1+nx2

⇒∫01dx1+x2n<1ntan-1nx01

⇒∫01dx1+x2n<1ntan-1n

⇒L=limn→∞n∫0111+x2ndx<limn→∞nntan-1n

⇒L<tan-1∞=π2

∴12<L<2 ∵π2<2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
