The value of `cot (sum_(n=1)^(23) cot^(-1) (1 + sum_(k=1)^(n) 2k))` isA. `(23)/(25)`B. `(25)/(23)`C. `(23)/(24)`D. `(24)/(23)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`cot(underset(n =1)overset(23)sum cot^(-1) (n^(2) + n + 1))`
`= cot(underset(n =1)overset(23)sum tan^(-1) ((n + 1 -n)/(1+ n (n + 1))))`
`= cot (underset(n=1)overset(23)sum (tan^(-1) (n +1) - tan^(-1)n))`
`=cot (tan^(-1) 24 -tan^(-1) 1) rArr cot (tan^(-1) ((23)/(25)))`
`= (25)/(23)`
