This is a subjective problem number 3 from ISI BMath 2011 based on inequality of a product expression. Try out this problem. Problem: Inequality of a product expression For $latex \mathbf{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ prove that $latex \mathbf{\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{5}{6}\cdots\frac{2n-1}{2n}\leq\frac{1}{\sqrt{2n+1}}}$ Discussion Note that $latex \mathbf{ \frac{2n}{2n+1} \ge \frac{2n-1}{2n} }$ since simple cross multiplication gives $latex \mathbf{ 4n^2 \ge 4n^2 - […]
