MCQ
If $\sum_{r=1}^{50} \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{2 r^2}=p$, then $\tan p$ is
  • A
    $\frac{100}{101}$
  • B
    $\frac{51}{50}$
  • $\frac{50}{51}$
  • D
    $\frac{101}{102}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{50}{51}$
(c) : $\sum_{r=1}^{50} \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{2 r^2}=\sum_{r=1}^{50} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{4 r^2}\right)$
$=\sum_{r=1}^5 \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{(2 r+1)-(2 r-1)}{1+(2 r+1)(2 r-1)}\right)$
$=\sum_{r=1}^{50}\left[\tan ^{-1}(2 r+1)-\tan ^{-1}(2 r-1)\right]$
$=\tan ^{-1}(101)-\tan ^{-1}(1)$
$=\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{101-1}{1+101}\right]=\tan ^{-1} \frac{100}{102}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{50}{51}=p$
$\therefore \tan p=\frac{50}{51}$
