Question

Suppose (an)n1 and (bn)n1(a_n)_{n \geq 1} \ and\ (b_n)_{n \geq 1}​ are two bounded sequences of real numbers.
Which of the following is true?

A.

lim supn(an+(1)nbn)=lim supnan+lim supnbn\limsup_{n \to \infty} (a_n + (-1)^n b_n) = \limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n + |\limsup_{n \to \infty} b_n|​​

B.

lim supn(an+(1)nbn)lim supnan+lim supnbn\limsup_{n \to \infty} (a_n + (-1)^n b_n) \leq \limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n + \limsup_{n \to \infty} b_n​​

C.

lim supn(an+(1)nbn)lim supnan+lim supnbn+lim infnbn\limsup_{n \to \infty} (a_n + (-1)^n b_n) \leq \limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n + |\limsup_{n \to \infty} b_n| + |\liminf_{n \to \infty} b_n|​​

D.

lim supn(an+(1)nbn)\limsup_{n \to \infty} (a_n + (-1)^n b_n) may not exist.​

Correct option is C

We know that:

lim supn((1)nbn)lim supbn+lim infbn(1)\limsup_{n \to \infty} ((-1)^n b_n) \leq |\limsup b_n| + |\liminf b_n| \cdots \tag{1}​​

Also:

lim supn(an+(1)nbn)lim supnan+lim supn((1)nbn)(2)\limsup_{n \to \infty} (a_n + (-1)^n b_n) \leq \limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n + \limsup_{n \to \infty} ((-1)^n b_n) \cdots \tag{2}​​


From (1) and (2), we get:


lim supn(an+(1)nbn)lim supnan+lim supnbn+lim infnbn\limsup_{n \to \infty} (a_n + (-1)^n b_n) \leq \limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n + |\limsup_{n \to \infty} b_n| + |\liminf_{n \to \infty} b_n|​​


therefore, 
Option C is correct.\textbf{Option C is correct.}​​
