Solution

$\frac{7 π}{16} = \frac{π}{2} - \frac{π}{16}$

$\frac{6 π}{16} = \frac{π}{2} - \frac{2 π}{16}$

$\frac{5 π}{16} = \frac{π}{2} - \frac{3 π}{16}$

$\frac{4 π}{16} = \frac{π}{4}$

L.H.S $= {tan}^{2} \frac{π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{2 p i}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{3 π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{4 π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{5 π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{6 π}{16} + {tan}^{2} 7 \frac{π}{16}$

$= {tan}^{2} \frac{π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{2 p i}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{3 π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{π}{4} + {tan}^{2} (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{3 π}{16}) + {tan}^{2} (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{2 π}{16}) + {tan}^{2} (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{π}{16})$

$= {tan}^{2} \frac{π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{2 p i}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{3 π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{π}{4} + {cot}^{2} \frac{3 π}{16} + {cot}^{2} \frac{2 π}{16} + {cot}^{2} \frac{π}{16}$

$= {tan}^{2} \frac{π}{16} + {cot}^{2} \frac{π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{2 π}{16} + {cot}^{2} \frac{2 π}{16} + {tan}^{2} \frac{3 π}{16} + {cot}^{2} \frac{3 π}{16} + 1$

$= {(tan \frac{π}{16} + cot \frac{π}{16})}^{2} - 2 tan \frac{π}{16} cot \frac{π}{16} + {(tan \frac{2 π}{16} + cot \frac{2 π}{16})}^{2} - 2 tan \frac{2 π}{16} cot \frac{2 π}{16} + {(tan \frac{3 π}{16} + cot \frac{3 π}{16})}^{2} - 2 tan \frac{3 π}{16} cot \frac{3 π}{16} + 1$

$= - 5 + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{sin \frac{π}{16}}{cos \frac{π}{16}} + \frac{cos \frac{π}{16}}{sin \frac{π}{16}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2} + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{sin \frac{2 π}{16}}{cos \frac{2 π}{16}} + \frac{cos \frac{2 π}{16}}{sin \frac{2 π}{16}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2} + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{sin \frac{3 π}{16}}{cos \frac{3 π}{16}} + \frac{cos \frac{3 π}{16}}{sin \frac{3 π}{16}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2}$

$= - 5 + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{1}{sin \frac{π}{16} cos \frac{π}{16}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2} + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{1}{sin \frac{2 π}{16} cos \frac{2 π}{16}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2} + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{1}{sin \frac{3 π}{16} cos \frac{3 π}{16}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2}$

$= - 5 + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{2}{sin \frac{π}{8}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2} + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{2}{sin \frac{2 π}{8}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2} + {⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{2}{sin \frac{3 π}{8}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠}^{2}$

$= - 5 + \frac{8}{1 - cos \frac{π}{4}} + \frac{8}{1 - cos \frac{π}{2}} + \frac{8}{1 - cos \frac{3 π}{4}}$

$= - 5 + \frac{8 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2} - 1} + 8 + 8 \sqrt{2} (\sqrt{2} - 1)$

$= - 5 + 8 \sqrt{2} (\sqrt{2} - 1) + 8 \sqrt{2} (\sqrt{2} - 1)$

$= 35$
