    Let the sequence \[<{{b}_{n}}>\] of real numbers satisfies the recurrence relation \[{{b}_{n+1}}=\frac{1}{3}\left( 2{{b}_{n}}+\frac{125}{{{b}^{2}}_{n}} \right),{{b}_{n}}\ne 0.\] Then find \[\underset{n\,\to \,\infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{b}_{n}}.\]

    A) 10

    B) 15

    C) 5

    D) 25

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Let \[\underset{n\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{b}_{n}}=b\] now, \[{{b}_{n+1}}=\frac{1}{3}\left( 2{{b}_{n}}+\frac{125}{b_{n}^{2}} \right)\] or \[\underset{n\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{b}_{n+1}}=\frac{1}{3}\left( 2\underset{n\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{b}_{n}}+\frac{125}{\underset{n\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,b_{n}^{2}} \right)\] or \[b=\frac{1}{3}\left( 2b+\frac{125}{{{b}^{2}}} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{b}{3}=\frac{125}{3{{b}^{2}}}\Rightarrow {{b}^{3}}=125\,\,or\,\,b=5.\]
