Actually, n → ∞ lim Γ ( n + 2 1 ) Γ ( n + 1 ) = ∞ and n → ∞ lim Γ ( n + 2 3 ) Γ ( n + 1 ) = 0 .
So, n → ∞ lim Γ ( n + 2 1 ) Γ ( n + 2 3 ) [ Γ ( n + 1 ) ] 2 = Γ ( ∞ ) Γ ( ∞ ) [ Γ ( ∞ ) ] 2
However, n → ∞ lim Γ ( n + 2 1 ) Γ ( n + 2 3 ) [ Γ ( n + 1 ) ] 2 = 1 , but it's not so trivial to prove.

Yes, you are right.
Thanks, I have changed the solution using Stirling's formula. I suppose proving n → ∞ lim Γ ( n + 2 1 ) Γ ( n + 2 3 ) [ Γ ( n + 1 ) ] 2 = 1

Though Stirling's formula is an approximation, still this is a good and interesting solution......However, while writing down Stirling's formula explicitly, there is a little mistake; It should be n ! ∼ 2 π n ( n + 2 1 ) e − n in stead of e − 1

@Anirban Karan – Thanks. Yes, the good thing is it is asymptotic. It is true as n → ∞ .
Following your argument, n → ∞ lim Γ ( n + b ) Γ ( n + c ) [ Γ ( n + a ) ] 2 = 1 for any finite a , b , c . But that's not true.
The given infinite product P = ( 1 ⋅ 3 2 2 ) ⋅ ( 3 ⋅ 5 4 2 ) ⋅ ( 5 ⋅ 7 6 2 ) ⋅ . . . . . = n = 1 ∏ ∞ [ ( 2 n − 1 ) ( 2 n + 1 ) ( 2 n ) 2 ] = n = 1 ∏ ∞ [ ( 2 n ) 2 − 1 ( 2 n ) 2 ] = n = 1 ∏ ∞ [ 1 − ( 2 n ) 2 1 1 ]
Product expansion of sin z is sin z = z n = 1 ∏ ∞ ( 1 − n 2 π 2 z 2 )
So, P 1 = n = 2 ∏ ∞ ( 1 − n 2 1 ) = z → π lim z ( 1 − n 2 π 2 z 2 ) sin z = z → π lim ( 1 − n 2 π 2 3 z 2 ) cos z = 2 1 [ using L’Hospital’s Rule ]
Again, product expansion of cos z is cos z = n = 1 ∏ ∞ [ 1 − ( n − 2 1 ) 2 π 2 z 2 ]
So, P 2 = n = 2 ∏ ∞ [ 1 − ( 2 n − 1 ) 2 1 ] = z → 2 π lim 1 − ( π / 2 ) 2 z 2 cos z = z → 2 π lim ( π / 2 ) 2 2 z sin z = 4 π [ using L’Hospital’s Rule ]
Then, P = P 1 / P 2 1 = P 1 P 2 = 2 π = 1 . 5 7 0 8
