Experts pls help!!
1.Let a1=b1=1, a2=2, b2=3, an+1=an+bn, bn+1=2an+bn, then:
A> bn2=2an2+1, if nis odd.
B> bn2=2an2-1, if n is odd.
C> limn->∞ bn/an= √2 -1
D> limn->∞ bn/an= √2
(Multiple correct)

an+ bn = an+1
also bn= 2an+ bn or bn+1 - an+1= an___(1)
or bn- an= an-1 (n≥2)________(2)
From (1) and (2) an+2= 2an+1 + an (n≥1)
Again, an+1= an+ bn and (bn+1- bn)/2= an __(3)
which gives 2an+1= bn+ bn+1____(4)
We can also write (3) as (bn+2 - bn+1)/2= an+1 , Combining this with (4) gives
bn+2= 2bn+1+ bn (n≥1)
Now, From the Bold equations it is possible to find an and bn in a closed form.
This kind of equations are known as difference equations.(If you don't know how to solve them try using google)
You will get
an= (1+√2)n+ (1-√2)n2√2
and bn= (1+√2)n+ (1-√2)n2
Now you can easily check that limn→∞bnan = √2
and bn2 = 2an2+1 if n is even and bn2 = 2an2-1 is n is odd.
You may see this for 'how to solve difference equations'.

@ Subhodip .. must say that I am impressed with the diversity of your problem solving specially at algebra...
Good work..
