Show that for natural numbers $x$ and $y$ if ${x\over y}> 1$ then
$${x\over y}> {(x+1)\over(y+1)}> 1.$$
Hence prove that
$$P = {2\over 1}{\cdot}{4\over 3}{\cdot}{6\over 5}{\cdots} {k\over k-1}> \sqrt{k+1}.$$
This shows that the product $P=\prod_{i=1}^n{2i\over{2i-1}}$ tends to infinity as $n$ tends to infinity. Now, using a similar method, show that
$$Q = {2\over 1}{\cdot}{4\over 3}{\cdot}{6\over 5}{\cdots}{100\over 99}> 12.$$
