Explanation:

Tips: Try to discard options by taking suitable choice for < an >.

option (1). Let an = 1 then (-1)n . ≠ 0

option (2). Let an = <1> and  = <1> then

  Not convergent.

option (3), option (4): (NB: may be you have to try with more) then one sea, <an>

Let an = (-1)n then

But here fixed 'b S.t above series become cgt. You may take b = ½ or = -½ but not both otherwise uniqueness will be lost.

⇒ option (3) is false. 

option (4): As discussed earlier. take b = ½ and  = <1> then about series becomes convergent. Hence option (4) is true.
