Solution

The correct option is A Statement I is true, Statement II is true; and Statement II is correct explanation for Statement I.
For every natural number n, we have
n(n+1)=n2+n<n2+n+n+1
n(n+1)<(n+1)2
n(n+1)<(n+1) n2
Statement II is true.
Also, from above, we have
n<n+1
1n>1n+1 n2
11>12>13>>1n1>1n n2
11>1n
12>1n
13>1n


1n=1n,n2
Adding all, we get
11+12+13++1n>nn=n
Statement I is true.
