Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution:

Formula: Definite integrals as a limit of sum, Standard formulas for Indefinite Integration

$ \begin{aligned} &L= \lim _{n \to \infty}(\frac{1}{1+n}+\ldots+\frac{1}{n+n})\\ & L=\lim _{n \to \infty} \sum _{r=1}^{n} \frac{1}{n+r} \\ & L=\lim _{n \to \infty} \sum _{r=1}^{n} \frac{1}{n}(\frac{1}{1+\frac{r}{n}}) \\ & L=\int_0^{1} \frac{1}{1+x} d x=[\ln (1+x]0^{1}=\ln 2 \\ & L = \ln2 =log{e}2 \end{aligned} $
