Medium INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

$$ \begin{aligned} &\text { If } \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{(n+1)^{k-1}}{n^{k+1}}[(n k+1)+(n k+2)+\ldots+(n k+n)] \\ &=33 \cdot \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{n^{k+1}} \cdot\left[1^{k}+2^{k}+3^{k}+\ldots+n^{k}\right] \end{aligned}$$, then the integral value of $\mathrm{k}$ is equal to _____________

Answer (integer) 5

Solution

$\lim\limits_{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{n+1}{n}\right)^{k-1} \frac{1}{n} \sum_{r=1}^{n}\left(k+\frac{r}{n}\right)=33 \lim\limits_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)^{k}$ <br/><br/> $$ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \int_{0}^{1}(k+x) d x=33 \int_{0}^{1} x^{k} d x \\\\ &\Rightarrow \quad \frac{2 k+1}{2}=\frac{33}{k+1} \\\\ &\Rightarrow \quad k=5 \end{aligned} $$
