Answer

Divergent

Work Step by Step

As we know that when $x \gt 0$ so, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \sqrt[n] {n}=1$ and $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} x^{1/n}=1$ Let $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (\dfrac{\ln n}{n^{1/n}})$ This implies that $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (\dfrac{\ln n}{n^{(1/n)}})$ and $a_n= \dfrac{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\ln n}{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} n^{(1/n)}}=\infty$ Hence, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=\infty$ and {$a_n$} is Divergent.
