Question

Match List-I with List-II and choose the correct option:

LIST-I
(Infinite Series)
LIST-II
(Nature of Series)
A$12-7-3-2+12-7-3-2+ \dots$
 
Iconvergent
 
B$1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\dots$
 
IIoscillatory
 
C$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\{(n^3+1)^{1/3}-n\}$
 
IIIdivergent
 
D$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n(1+\frac{1}{n})}$
 
IVconditionally convergent
 

The correct answer is
A-II, B-IV, C-III, D - I

Let's analyze each option from List-I with their corresponding nature from List-II:

  1. Series A: \(12 - 7 - 3 - 2 + 12 - 7 - 3 - 2 + \dots\)
    This series is repetitive, creating a block pattern of constant terms that repeat indefinitely. It is not convergent or divergent because it doesn't show a consistent trend towards infinity or a finite value. This makes it oscillatory.
    Match: II (oscillatory)
  2. Series B: \(1 - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} + \dots\)
    This is the Alternating Harmonic Series, which is known to converge to a finite value due to its alternating signs and decreasing terms. It is conditionally convergent, as it only converges due to the alternation.
    Match: IV (conditionally convergent)
  3. Series C: \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\{(n^3+1)^{1/3}-n\}\)
    Approximating the terms as \((n^3+n)^{1/3} - n\) for large \(n\), this simplifies to a positive term \(\frac{1}{3n^2}\), which diverges because the summed terms do not tend to zero quickly enough.
    Match: III (divergent)
  4. Series D: \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n(1+\frac{1}{n})}\)
    This series simplifies to \(\frac{n}{n+1}\), which tends to 1 as \(n\) approaches infinity. Written as \(\frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{n}}\), this is similar to the harmonic series, but each term is slightly reduced causing convergence due to the added structure.
    Match: I (convergent)

Therefore, the correct option is:

A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
