Solution

un=(an+1)un1anun2;
unun1=an(un1un2)
.................................
u3u2=a3(u2u1)
By multiplication
unun1=a3a4......an(u2u1)
p1=a1,q1=a1+1,p2=a2(a2+1),q2=a1a2+a1+1
pnpn1=a1a2.....an
p2p1=a1a2
p1=a1
By addition;-
pn=a1+a1a2+a1a2a3+.....a1a2.....an
qnqn1=a1a2.....an
q2q1=a1a2
q1=1+a1
qn=1+a1+a1a2+.....a1a2.....an;
1+pn=qn
and pn,qn both tend to infinity.
Hence the sum tends to 1
