The correct answer is: A=N

It is given that for nN



fn=n+11/3n1/3



=n+1nn+12/3+n+12/3n2/3+n2/3



=1n+12/3+n+12/3n2/3+n2/3



  nN



3n2/3<n+12/3+n+12/3n2/3+n2/3<3n+12/3



13n+12/3<1+n+12/3+n+12/3n2/3+n2/3<13n2/3



13n+12/3<fn<13n2/3



Similarly,



13n+22/3<fn+1<13n+12/3



  fn+1<13n+12/3<fn,nN



So, set A=N
