if i correctly understand the problem.........
s = 1/101 + .......+ 1/150
lowest s = 50/101 =1/2
highest s = 50/150 = 1/3
so the range = 1/2 to 1/3

Can you provide the answer choices? ...coz we can't determine which size of the range is okie ...One was pointed out by Himalaya ...but we don't know if there's smaller/ tinier range...

yes, if there's no answer choices...this problem will be very difficult and may involve the tools of upper and lower limits ...and we know, to find limits is not easy at all.
