S = (1/31+1/32+1/33+...+1/40) + (1/41 + 1/42 + ...+ 1/50) + (1/51 + 1/52+...+1/59+1/60)
Mà : (1/31+1/32+1/33+...+1/40) > 1/40 x 10 = 1/4 (gồm 10 số hạng)
Tương tự : (1/41 + 1/42 + ...+ 1/50) > 1/5 ; (1/51 + 1/52+...+1/59+1/60) > 1/6
S > 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6.
Trong khi đó (1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6) > 3/5
Vậy A > 3/5
Phần 2.
S = (1/31+1/32+1/33+...+1/40) + (1/41 + 1/42 + ...+ 1/50) + (1/51 + 1/52+...+1/59+1/60)
Mà : (1/31+1/32+1/33+...+1/40) < 1/31 x 10 = 10/30 = 1/3 (gồm 10 số hạng)
Tương tự : (1/41 + 1/42 + ...+ 1/50) < 1/4 ; (1/51 + 1/52+...+1/59+1/60) < 1/5
Mà S = (1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5) < 4/5 (Vì 1/3 + 1/5 < 3/5 hay 7/12 < 3/5 hay 35/60 < 36/60)
Vậy S < 4/5
