Correct option is B
Solution to the Problem
Problem:
Find the value of the expression:
(1 - 1/3) (1 - 1/4) (1 - 1/5) ... (1 - 1/n).
Solution:
Step 1: Simplify each term
Each term in the product can be simplified as follows:
1 - 1/k = (k - 1) / k, where k ≥ 3.
Thus, the product becomes:
(1 - 1/3) (1 - 1/4) (1 - 1/5) ... (1 - 1/n)
= (2/3) × (3/4) × (4/5) × ... × ((n-1)/n).
Step 2: Combine terms
The product telescopes (cancels out adjacent terms) as follows:
(2/3) × (3/4) × (4/5) × ... × ((n-1)/n)
= 2/n.
Final Answer:
The value of the expression is:
(1 - 1/3) (1 - 1/4) (1 - 1/5) ... (1 - 1/n) = 2/n.
