    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.}​​
