    Directions: Questions number 16 to 20 are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these questions contains two statements: Statement-I (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You have to select the correct choice.
     Statement-1: For every natural number \[\ge 2,\,\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{1}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+.....+\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}>\sqrt{n}\]. 
     Statement-2: For every natural number \[n\ge 2,\sqrt{n\left( n+1 \right)}<n+1\].
        AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2007

    A) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement -2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

    B) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

    C) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

    D) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Statement-2: \[\sqrt{n}<\sqrt{n+1}\] is true for \[n\ge 2\]. Statement-1:                 \[\sqrt{n}<\sqrt{n+1}\Rightarrow \sqrt{2}<\sqrt{3}<\sqrt{4}<.....\sqrt{n}\] Now      \[\sqrt{2}<\sqrt{n}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\]                 \[\sqrt{3}<\sqrt{n}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\]                 :                 :                 \[\sqrt{n}<\sqrt{n}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\ge \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\] Also \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{1}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\]. So\[\frac{1}{\sqrt{1}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}+.....+\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}>\frac{n}{\sqrt{n}}=\sqrt{n}\]
