If tan - 1 1 1 + 1 . 2 + tan - 1 1 1 + 2 . 3 + ⋯ + tan - 1 1 1 + n ( n + 1 ) = tan - 1 [ x ] , then x =

If tan-111+1.2+tan-111+2.3++tan-111+n(n+1)=tan-1[x], then x=
  1. 1n+1
  2. nn+1
  3. 1n+2
  4. nn+2

Solution

We have, tan-111+1.2=tan-12-11+1.2

Now, using the formula tan-1x-tan-1y=tan-1x-y1+xy, xy>-1

We get, tan-111+1.2=tan-12-tan-11

Similarly, tan-111+2.3=tan-13-tan-12

and tan-111+n(n+1)=tan-1n+1-tan-1n

tan-111+1.2+tan-111+2.3++tan-111+n(n+1)=tan-12-tan-11+tan-13-tan-12++tan-1n+1-tan-1n

=tan-1n+1-tan-11

=tan-1n+1-11+n+11

tan-1n+1-11+n+11=tan-1x

tan-1n2+n=tan-1x

x=n2+n
