Response Details:
{an},{bn} are such that {an } converges to 0.
also, | bn - b | < an .
now, using the definition of convergence of the sequence, to each ε > 0 , there exists m a positive integer such that
 | an - 0 | < ε for all n > m.
  keeping the definition of convergence in view, consider | bn- b |  a n   | an -o| < ε for all n > m.
∴ { bn} converges to b.  or  { bn} --> b.
