Observe that \mathrm{t-1<[t] \leq t}
Applying this to numbers \mathrm{\frac{1}{x}, \frac{2}{x}, \ldots . . ., \frac{15}{x}} and summing them, we have

\mathrm{\sum_{k=1}^{15} \frac{k}{x}-15<\sum_{k=1}^{15}\left[\frac{k}{x}\right] \leq \sum_{k=1}^{15} \frac{k}{x}}

Multiplying throughout by \mathrm{x}, we have

\mathrm{ \sum_{k=1}^{15} k-15 x<x \sum_{k=1}^{15}\left[\frac{k}{x}\right] \leq \sum_{k=1}^{15} k }

Putting the limit \mathrm{ x \rightarrow 0^{+}, \: we \: have\: 120<L \leq 120 }

As the limit from both sides approaches to 120 , we have by sandwich theorem, the required limit \mathrm{ =120. }
