General Mathematics Question : Solution : Note that, An element $m$ is maximum of set $S$ iff $s≤m$ for all $s\in S$ and $m\in S$. Further, if a set $S$ has maximum element then it is supremum of $S$. Similarly, an element $l$ is minimum or least element of set $S$ if $l≤s$ all $s\in S$ and $l\in S$. Further, if a set $S$ has minimum or least element then it is infimum of $S$. Hence, $sup\{a_n: n\in\mathbb{N}\}$ $=sup\{a_1,a_2,a_3,...\}$ $=sup\{3,\frac{5}{4},\frac{5}{3},\frac{17}{16},...\}$ $=3$ (since maximum of set $\{a_1,a_2,...\}$ is 3. ) Similarly, $inf\{a_n: n\in\mathbb{N}\}$ $=inf\{a_1,a_2,a_3,...\}$ $=inf\{3,\frac{5}{4},\frac{5}{3},\frac{17}{16},...\}$ $=1$ (since, $\{a_1,a_2,...\}$ has minimum or least element 1) Hence option (A) is true, (C) is false. Now to discuss options (B) and (C): we note that, $\text{lim inf} (a_n)$ is infimum of set of all subsequential limits of sequence $(a_n)$ and similarly, $\te...
