Evaluating the limit of a sequence

JEE Advanced 2015 Tutorials › Algebra questions › Evaluating the limit of a sequence

Let 0 < a â‰¤ b. Define
a₁ = a+b2, b₁ = √a₁ b
and for each integer kâ‰¥1,
a_k+1 = a_k + b_k 2, b_k+1 = √a_k+1 b_k .
Find the limit of the sequence {b_n}. That is find
\lim_{n\to\infty} b_n

I would like to emphasize what the author of the book from where I filched that solution had to say :"By the way, this is a hard problem by any competition standard"

Well, at least I think otherwise. Definitely this problem is not suitable for the engineering entrances. But its not that hard.
