Question 35

Mathematics Sequence And Series Hard

If \(a_1, a_2, a_3,...a_n\), are in Arithmetic Progression with common difference d, then the sum \((sind) (cosec a_1 . cosec a_2+cosec a_2.cosec a_2+...+cosec a_{n-1}.cosec a_n)\) is equal to

(A) \(cot a_1 - cot a_n\)
(B) \(sin a_1 - sin a_n\)
(C) \(cosec a_1 - cosec a_n\)
(D) \(a_1-a_n\)
✓ Correct Answer: Option A Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

If \( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \) are in arithmetic progression (AP), then: \[ a_2 - a_1 = a_3 - a_2 = \ldots = a_n - a_{n-1} = d, \] where \( d \) is the common difference. The expression: \[ \sin d \left( \frac{1}{\sin a_1 \cdot \sin a_2} + \frac{1}{\sin a_2 \cdot \sin a_3} + \ldots + \frac{1}{\sin a_{n-1} \cdot \sin a_n} \right) \] is simplified as: \[ \frac{\sin d}{\sin a_1 \cdot \sin a_2} + \frac{\sin d}{\sin a_2 \cdot \sin a_3} + \ldots + \frac{\sin d}{\sin a_{n-1} \cdot \sin a_n}. \] Using the trigonometric identity: \[ \sin(x-y) = \sin x \cos y - \cos x \sin y, \] each term simplifies to: \[ \frac{\sin a_2 \cos a_1 - \cos a_2 \sin a_1}{\sin a_1 \cdot \sin a_2} + \frac{\sin a_3 \cos a_2 - \cos a_3 \sin a_2}{\sin a_2 \cdot \sin a_3} + \ldots. \] This telescopes to: \[ \cot a_1 - \cot a_n. \] Hence: \[ \sin d \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \frac{1}{\sin a_k \cdot \sin a_{k+1}} = \cot a_1 - \cot a_n. \]
