The value ofcot Σn=123cot-11+Σk=1n2kis

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

cot Σn=123cot-11+Σk=1n2k=cotΣn=123cot-11+2+4+6++2n
=cotΣcot-11+nn+1
=cotΣtan-1n+1-n1+nn+1 cot-1x=tan-11x
=cotΣn=123tan-1n+1-tan-1ntan-1x-y1+xy=tan-1x-tan-1y
 

Now tan-1n+1-tan-1n=tan-12-tan-11+tan-13-tan-12+....+tan-124-tan-123

=cottan-124-tan-11
=cottan-124-11+24
=cotcot-12523=2523
