# Prove the Following by Using the Principle of Mathematical Induction for All N ∈ N: 1+ 1/((1+2)) + 1/((1+2+3)) +...+ 1/((1+2+3+...N)) = (2n)/(N +1) - CBSE (Arts) Class 11 - Mathematics

#### Question

Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all n ∈ N

1+ 1/((1+2)) + 1/((1+2+3)) +...+ 1/((1+2+3+...n)) = (2n)/(n +1)

#### Solution

Thus, P(k + 1) is true whenever P(k) is true.

Hence, by the principle of mathematical induction, statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers i.e., n.

Is there an error in this question or solution?
