If S is the sum of the first 10 terms of the series then tan(S) is equal to :
- A
- B
- C-
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Identify the general term
The denominators are: These follow the pattern for , since:
So the th term is
Hence
- Rewrite each term using an arctangent identity
We use: when the angles lie in the principal range.
Take Then
So each term becomes
- Form the telescoping sum
Therefore,
Expanding:
All intermediate terms cancel, leaving
Since we get
- Compute
Using with we have
Thus
- Check options
The value is So the correct option is:
D:
