Question

For each positive integer n, let
yn=1n{(n+1)(n+2)......(n+n)}1n

For xR let [x] be the greatest integer less than or equal to x. If limnyn=L, then the value of [L] is

Solution

yn=1n{(n+1)(n+2)......(n+n)}1n
This can be written as,
yn=nr=1(1+rn)1n
Taking log on both sides,
lnyn=nr=11nln(1+rn)limnlnyn=limnnr=11nln(1+rn) =10ln(1+x) dx
using integration by parts
limnlnyn=[(x+1){ln(x+1)x}]10lnL=2ln21=ln4eL=4e1<L<2
Hence [L]=1

Alternate solution:
We can say that,
yn<1n{(n+n)(n+n)......(n+n)}1nyn<1n(2n)nnyn<2
Now,
yn>1n{(n)(n)......(n)}1nyn>1n(n)nnyn>1
1<limnyn<21<L<2
Hence [L]=1
