If T n = 1 + 2 + 3 + ⋯ + n T_n=1+2+3+\cdots +n T n = 1 + 2 + 3 + ⋯ + n and
P n = T 2 T 2 − 1 ⋅ T 3 T 3 − 1 ⋅ T 4 T 4 − 1 ⋅ ⋯ ⋅ T n T n − 1 P_n=\frac{T_2}{T_2-1}\cdot\frac{T_3}{T_3-1}\cdot\frac{T_4}{T_4-1}\cdot\cdots\cdot\frac{T_n}{T_n-1} P n = T 2 − 1 T 2 ⋅ T 3 − 1 T 3 ⋅ T 4 − 1 T 4 ⋅ ⋯ ⋅ T n − 1 T n
for n = 2 , 3 , 4 , ⋯ , n=2,3,4,\cdots, n = 2 , 3 , 4 , ⋯ , then P 1991 P_{1991} P 1991 is closest to which of the following numbers?
