The necessary condition for a series \(\sum {{u_n}} \) to converge is that
1. \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {u_n} \to 0\)
2. \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {u_n} =1\)
3. \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {u_n} = -1\)
4. None of these
1. \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {u_n} \to 0\)
2. \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {u_n} =1\)
3. \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {u_n} = -1\)
4. None of these
Correct Answer – Option 4 : None of these
Concept:
Cauchy’s Root test-
A series of positive terms ∑unis
(i) convergent if \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {\left( {{u_n}} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}}} < 1\)
(ii) Divergent if \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {\left( {{u_n}} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}}} > 1\)
(iii) Test fail if \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {\left( {{u_n}} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}}} = 1\)
Observation
A necessary condition for convergence of an infinite series \(\sum {{u_n}} \) is that \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {u_n}< 1\)
None of the options are correct. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
