Correct Answer: $\frac{n}{2}$
Solution :
$\left (1-\frac{1}{n+1} \right) + \left (1-\frac{2}{n+1} \right) + \left (1- \frac{3}{n+1} \right)+.....\left (1- \frac{n}{n+1} \right)$
= $\frac{n}{n+1}+\frac{n-1}{n+1}+\frac{n-2}{n+1}+...........+\frac{1}{n+1}$
$= \frac{1}{(n+1)}\frac{[n(n+1)]}{2}$
$=\frac{n}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{n}{2}$.
