Answer

$a_{n}=\frac{1}{n^{2}}$, $b_{n}=\frac{1}{n}$

Work Step by Step

For a positive convergent series, we can use $a_{n}=\frac{1}{n^{2}}$ (p-series with $p\gt 1$) For a positive divergent series, we can use $b_{n}=\frac{1}{n}$ (p-series with $p= 1)$ Then we have $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{a_{n}}{b_{n}}=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{\frac{1}{n^{2}}}{\frac{1}{n}}$ $=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{1}{n}$ $=0$ Hence, $a_{n}=\frac{1}{n^{2}}$, $b_{n}=\frac{1}{n}$
