SUMMARY

The inequality of the series defined by the ratio of the product of odd numbers from 1 to 99 over the product of even numbers from 2 to 100 is proven to be greater than \(\dfrac{1}{10\sqrt{2}}\). The mathematical expression is represented as \(\dfrac {1\times 3 \times 5 \times \ldots \times 99}{2\times 4 \times 6 \times \ldots \times 100} > \dfrac {1}{10\sqrt{2}}\). This conclusion is reached through a series of algebraic manipulations and inequalities, confirming the validity of the statement.

prove :
$\dfrac {1\times 3 \times 5\times------\times 99}{2\times 4\times 6\times --\times {100}}>\dfrac {1}{10\sqrt 2}$

Let

$A= \frac{3}{4}*\frac{5}{6}\cdots\frac{99}{100}$
$B = \frac{2}{3}*\frac{4}{5}\cdots\frac{98}{99}$
In the above products each term of A is > B pairwise so A > B

$A * B = \frac{2}{100}$ and hence $A \gt\sqrt{(\frac{2}{100})}$

hence $ A \gt\frac{\sqrt{2}}{10}$

hence given expression which is $\frac{A}{ 2}$

so $\gt\dfrac{1}{10\sqrt{2}}$

very nice !
