Definite Integration
Limit of a Sum
IIT-JEE 2013
Grade 12

Question:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{r=0}^{n-1} \frac{n}{n^2 + r^2}$ equals:
(1) $\frac{\pi}{4}$
(2) $\frac{\pi}{2}$
(3) $\pi$
(4) $\frac{\pi}{8}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Write the general term as $\frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{1}{1 + (r/n)^2}$ and recognise the sum as a Riemann sum that converges to a definite integral over $[0, 1]$.
