Ans. is 3/5.
Sum of squares of first n natural numbers is n(n + 1)(2n + 1) / 6,
sum of cubes of first n natural numbers is n2(n + 1)2 / 4,
that of fourth powers is (3n2 + 3n – 1).n(n + 1)(2n + 1) / 30 and
that of fifth powers is n2(n + 1)2(2n2 + 2n – 1) / 12.
In fact you can calculate sum of kth powers of first n natural numbers if you know the sum till (k–1)th powers.
\therefore given limit is
limn\rightarrow\infty {n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6}{n2(n + 1)2 / 4}{(3n2 + 3n – 1).n(n + 1)(2n + 1) / 30} / {n2(n + 1)2(2n2 + 2n – 1) / 12}2
Simplify above expression and get
limn\rightarrow\infty (2n + 1)2 (3n2 + 3n – 1) / 5(2n2 + 2n – 1)2
   = (1/5) limn\rightarrow\infty (4n2 + 4n + 1) (3n2 + 3n – 1) / (2n2 + 2n – 1)2
   = (1/5) limn\rightarrow\infty [(4n2 + 4n + 1) / (2n2 + 2n – 1)] x [limn\rightarrow\infty (3n2 + 3n – 1) / (2n2 + 2n – 1)]
   = (1/5) . (4/2) . (3/2)
   = 3/5.
