  3. C.$${\log _e}\left( {{2 \over 3}} \right)$$
  4. D.$${\log _e}\left( {{3 \over 2}} \right)$$

Answer

B. $${\log _e}2$$

Explanation

$$ \begin{aligned} & \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left[\frac{1}{1+n}+\frac{1}{2+n}+\frac{1}{3+n}+\ldots \ldots+\frac{1}{2 n}\right] \\\\ & =\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{r=1}^n \frac{1}{r+n} \\\\ & =\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{r=1}^n \frac{1}{n}\left(\frac{1}{\frac{r}{n}+1}\right) \\\\ & =\int_0^1 \frac{d x}{x+1} \\\\ & =\left.\log _e(1+\mathrm{x})\right|_0 ^1 \\\\ & =\log _e^2 \end{aligned} $$
