Relevant wiki: Taylor's Theorem (with Lagrange Remainder)
A necessary requirement for the existence of a limit of the form lim n → ∞ n ⋅ f ( n ) is that lim n → ∞ f ( n ) = 0 . Applying it here, we have B = n → ∞ lim j = 1 ∑ n n + j 1 = n → ∞ lim n 1 j = 1 ∑ n 1 + n j 1 = ∫ 0 1 1 + x 1 d x = ln ( 2 )
Also, using the form of B as an integral, we may let f ( x ) = 1 + x 1 to write n ( B − n 1 j = 1 ∑ n 1 + n j 1 ) = n j = 1 ∑ n ∫ ( j − 1 ) / n j / n ( 1 + x 1 − 1 + n j 1 ) d x = n j = 1 ∑ n ∫ ( j − 1 ) / n j / n ( f ( x ) − f ( n j ) ) d x = n j = 1 ∑ n − 2 1 f ′ ( x j , n ) ⋅ n 2 1 for some x j , n ∈ ( n j − 1 , n j ) = − 2 1 ⋅ n 1 j = 1 ∑ n f ′ ( x j , n ) [see the note]
Letting n → ∞ , we find A = − 2 1 n → ∞ lim n 1 j = 1 ∑ n f ′ ( x j , n ) = − 2 1 ∫ 0 1 f ′ ( x ) d x = − 2 1 ( f ( 1 ) − f ( 0 ) ) = − 2 1 ( 1 + 1 1 − 1 + 0 1 ) = 4 1
Therefore e B / A = e 4 ln ( 2 ) = 1 6
Note : The line in my solution I marked to see this note is the only line that isn't straight forward. It is an immediate consequence of Taylor's theorem in the following form: If g ( x ) has a continuous first derivative, then ∫ a b g ( x ) d x = g ( b ) ( b − a ) − 2 1 g ′ ( x 1 ∗ ) ( b − a ) 2 = g ( a ) ( b − a ) + 2 1 g ′ ( x 2 ∗ ) ( b − a ) 2 for some x 1 ∗ , x 2 ∗ ∈ ( a , b )
