 Hey it is easy as a pie.
Using G.p.
 
1+x+x2+x3+...............+xn-1 xn-1-1
                                               x-1
 
Now integrate both sides wrt x. then putx=1 solve to get answer.
 
 
 
And rate if you get the ans.
 

There is no shortcut to sucess.

If you want some thing you never had then do something that u have never done................
.................
I cannot even solve 20% of the problem asked here. But each time i click i learn something new. GOIIT ROCKS .................................................................................................................................................

What Nick said, is right. Given series is an H.P. and hence it cannot be summed.
And Ankur.... How did you get it as n/(n + 1) ??!!
Put n = 2, and you won't get it as 3/2, instead 2/3.....

The series cannot be summed.
 
In any case, it is divergent.

hp sereis cannot be summed that easily, we must use the integral method(using lowwer &upper bound values) which tells us that value of the series is in between
1+ln n& ln (n+1)
this can be approximately taken as ln n.
so the answer is close to ln n.
