CAT 2008 Question Paper Question 24

Question 24

Find the sum $$\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{1^2}+\frac{1}{2^2}}+\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{3^2}} +....+ \sqrt{1+\frac{1}{2007^2}+\frac{1}{2008^2}}$$

Solution

Consider the first term:
$$\sqrt{1+1/1^2+1/2^2}$$ = $$\sqrt{9/4}$$ = 3/2
Second term: $$\sqrt{1+1/2^2+1/3^2}$$ = $$\sqrt{49/36}$$ = 7/6
First term + Second term = 3/2 + 7/6 = (9+7)/6 = 16/6 = 8/3 = 3 - 1/3
.
.
​Required sum = 2008 - 1/2008
