• A. 1
• B. $\frac{1}{e^{2}}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2e}$
• D. $\frac{1}{e}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$\frac{1}{e}$

Answer 2

$\displaystyle \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{(n !)^{1 / n}}{n}=\displaystyle \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{n !}{n^{n}}\right)^{1 / n}$
We have, $\frac{n !}{n^{n}}=\frac{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3}{n \cdot n \cdot n} \quad n$
\therefore \left\\{\frac{n !}{n^{n}}\right\\}^{1 / n}=\left\\{\frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{2}{n} \cdot \frac{3}{n} \cdots \frac{r}{n} \cdots \frac{n}{n}\right\\}^{1 / n}
\Rightarrow \displaystyle\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left\\{\frac{n !}{n^{n}}\right\\}^{1 / n}
=\displaystyle\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left\\{\frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{2}{n} \cdot \frac{3}{n} \cdots \frac{r}{n} \cdots \frac{n}{n}\right\\}^{1 / n}
Let A=\displaystyle\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left\\{\frac{n !}{n^{n}}\right\\}^{1 / n}
Then, A=\displaystyle\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left\\{\frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{2}{n} \cdot \frac{3}{n} \cdots \frac{r}{n} \cdots \frac{n}{n}\right\\}^{1 / n}
$\Rightarrow \log A =\displaystyle\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{n} \Sigma \log \left(\frac{r}{n}\right)=\int\limits_{0}^{1} \log x d x$
$=\left[x \log x-\int \frac{1}{x} \cdot x d x\right]_{0}^{1}$
Integrating by parts
$=[x \log x-x]_{0}^{1}=-1$
$\Rightarrow A=e^{-1}=\frac{1}{e}$
