\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right) \ldots\left(1-\frac{1}{n+1}\right)

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

\frac{n}{n+1}

Option A (

\frac{1}{n+1}

) is incorrect. Option B (

\frac{n}{n+1}

) is correct because the given expression simplifies to

\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{4} \cdot ... \cdot \frac{n}{n+1}

, where most terms cancel out, leaving

\frac{1}{n+1}
