By the way, I had posted the same problem in a different manner. :P

From the first equation
b n + c n = 2 n + 1 − a n
From third equation
b n . c n = a n − 1
Now simplifing the second equation
a n ( b n + c n ) + b n . c n = 2 n − 1
Substituting the values we will get a cubic equation
a n 3 − ( 2 n + 1 ) a n 2 + ( 2 n − 1 ) a n + 1 = 0
By trial and error method one root of the equation is 1, the other two roots can be found easily by Dividing cubic by a n − 1 to get the quadratic
a n 2 − 2 n . a n − 1 = 0
(Note:-these roots of the equation are a n , b n , c n and we have to choose the minimum root.)
The Roots of the equation are a n = n ± n 2 + 1
Minimum root is n − n 2 + 1
∴
n → ∞ lim n × a n = n → ∞ lim n ( n − n 2 + 1 )
Taking n 2 common from root
n → ∞ lim n 2 − n 2 ( 1 + n 2 1 )
We know,
( 1 + x ) n = 1 + n x when x<<1
So our limit reduces to
n → ∞ lim n 2 − n 2 ( 1 + 2 n 2 1 ) = 2 − 1
