Using x 2 y 2 = ( x + y ) ( x y ) \small{\color{#3D99F6}{x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)}} P = n = 2 n n ( n 1 ) ( n + 1 ) \large \mathbf{P}=\displaystyle\prod_{n=2}^\infty \dfrac{n\cdot n}{(n-1)(n+1)} = ( n = 2 m n n 1 ) × ( n = 2 m n n + 1 ) =\left(\displaystyle\prod_{n=2}^m \dfrac{n}{n-1}\right)\times \left(\displaystyle\prod_{n=2}^m \dfrac{n}{n+1}\right) = ( 2 1 × 3 2 × 4 3 × m m 1 ) × ( 2 3 × 3 4 × 4 5 × m m + 1 ) =(\dfrac{\cancel 2}{1}\times \dfrac{\cancel 3}{\cancel 2}\times \dfrac{\cancel 4}{\cancel 3}\times \cdots \dfrac{m}{\cancel{m-1}})\times (\dfrac{2}{\cancel 3}\times \dfrac{\cancel 3}{\cancel 4}\times \dfrac{\cancel 4}{\cancel 5}\times \cdots \dfrac{\cancel m}{m+1}) = 2 m m + 1 =\dfrac{2m}{m+1} When m m , P approaches 2 \rightarrow \infty,\color{forestgreen}{\mathbf P~\text{approaches}~2}

Hence, P = 2 \Large\color{#302B94}{\mathbf P=2}
