Use Harmonic series to solve. A=1−(1/2)+(1/3)−(1/4)+...+(1/(2015))−(1/(2016)) =(1+(1/2)+(1/3)+...+(1/(2016)))−2((1/2)+(1/4)+(1/6)+...+(1/(2016))) =(1+(1/2)+(1/3)+...+(1/(2016)))−(1+(1/2)+(1/3)+...+(1/(1008))) =H_(2016) −H_(1008) B=((2((1/(1009))+(1/(1010))+(1/(1011))+...+(1/(2016))))/(3025)) =((2(H_(2016) −H_(1008) ))/(3025))=((2A)/(3025)) ∴((20A)/(11B))=((20×3025)/(11×2))=2750

$$\mathrm{Use}\:\mathrm{Harmonic}\:\mathrm{series}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{solve}. \\ $$$${A}=\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}+...+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2015}}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2016}} \\ $$$$=\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}+...+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2016}}\right)−\mathrm{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}}+...+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2016}}\right) \\ $$$$=\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}+...+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2016}}\right)−\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}+...+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1008}}\right) \\ $$$$={H}_{\mathrm{2016}} −{H}_{\mathrm{1008}} \\ $$$${B}=\frac{\mathrm{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1009}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1010}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1011}}+...+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2016}}\right)}{\mathrm{3025}} \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{2}\left({H}_{\mathrm{2016}} −{H}_{\mathrm{1008}} \right)}{\mathrm{3025}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{A}}{\mathrm{3025}} \\ $$$$\therefore\frac{\mathrm{20}{A}}{\mathrm{11}{B}}=\frac{\mathrm{20}×\mathrm{3025}}{\mathrm{11}×\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{2750} \\ $$

Somebody must have mistakenly flag instead of like. Thanks for the solution sir.
