Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

If $f:R \to R$ is given by $f(x) = x + 1$, then the value of $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {1 \over n}\left[ {f(0) + f\left( {{5 \over n}} \right) + f\left( {{{10} \over n}} \right) + ...... + f\left( {{{5(n - 1)} \over n}} \right)} \right]$$ is :

  1. A ${3 \over 2}$
  2. B ${5 \over 2}$
  3. C ${1 \over 2}$
  4. D ${7 \over 2}$ Correct answer

Solution

$$f(0) + f\left( {{5 \over n}} \right) + f\left( {{{10} \over n}} \right) + ...... + f\left( {{{5(n - 1)} \over n}} \right)$$<br><br>$$ \Rightarrow 1 + 1 + {5 \over n} + 1 + {{10} \over n} + .... + 1 + {{5(n - 1)} \over n}$$<br><br>$$ \Rightarrow n + {5 \over n}{{(n - 1)n} \over 2} = {{2n + 5n - 5} \over 2} = {{7n - 5} \over 2}$$<br><br>$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {1 \over n}\left( {{{7n - 5} \over 2}} \right) = {7 \over 2}$$
