Explanation:
To find the harmonic mean of a set of numbers, we
- take their reciprocals
- find out the mean of the reciprocals
- take the reciprocal of this mean
Now, for
- the reciprocals are
#1,2,3,...,n# - their mean is
#1/n(1+2+3+...+n) = (n+1)/2# - whose reciprocal is
#2/(n+1)#
The required harmonic mean is
