(i)
 
(ii)
For given sequences and , prove or disprove the following:
  is convergent, if is convergent.
  is convergent, if is convergent and  is bounded.
(6)






A sequence is said to be Cauchy if for any  , there exists such that
 In other words, the elements of a Cauchy sequence come arbitrarily close to each other after some stage.

Show that every convergent sequence is also Cauchy. (In fact, the converse is also true, i.e., every Cauchy sequence in is also convergent. We shall assume this fact.)
 (7) 

Let  be a sequence such that for every n. Show that .
  (8) 

Show that a sequence is convergent if and only if the subsequence  and  are both convergent to the same limits.
   
(9) Is every Cauchy sequence bounded?
