\(A=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{36}+\frac{1}{64}+\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{144}+\frac{1}{196}\)
\(A=\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{4^2}+\frac{1}{6^2}+\frac{1}{8^2}+\frac{1}{10^2}+\frac{1}{12^2}+\frac{1}{14^2}\)
\(A=\frac{1}{2^2}\left(1+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{3^2}+.....+\frac{1}{7^2}\right)\)
\(< \frac{1}{2^2}\left(1+\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+....+\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{7}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2^2}\left(1-\frac{1}{7}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2^2}\cdot\frac{6}{7}\)
\(=\frac{3}{14}\)
\(< \frac{1}{2}\)
