Solution

Let pn: 1n+1+1n+2+...+12n>1324, for all natural numbers n>1.Step I: For n=2,LHS=12+1+12×2=13+14=712=1424>1324=RHSAs, LHS>RHSSo, it is true for n=2.Step II: For n=k,Let pk: 1k+1+1k+2+...+12k>1324, be true for some natural numbers k>1.Step III: For n=k+1,pk+1=1k+1+1k+2+...+12k+12k+1>1324+12k+1 Using step II>1324i.e. pk+1>1324So, it is also true for n=k+1.Hence, pn: 1n+1+1n+2+...+12n>1324, for all natural numbers n>1.
