Solution

As, θ1, θ2, θ3, ..., θn are in APSo, d=θ2-θ1=θ3-θ2=...=θn-θn-1 .....iNow,LHS=secθ1secθ2+secθ2secθ3+...+secθn-1secθn=1cosθ1cosθ2+1cosθ2cosθ3+...+1cosθn-1cosθn=1sindsindcosθ1cosθ2+sindcosθ2cosθ3+...+sindcosθn-1cosθn=1sindsinθ2-θ1cosθ1cosθ2+sinθ3-θ2cosθ2cosθ3+...+sinθn-θn-1cosθn-1cosθn Using i=1sindsinθ2cosθ1-cosθ2sinθ1cosθ1cosθ2+sinθ3cosθ2-cosθ3sinθ2cosθ2cosθ3+...+sinθncosθn-1-cosθnsinθn-1cosθn-1cosθn=1sindsinθ2cosθ1cosθ1cosθ2-cosθ2sinθ1cosθ1cosθ2+sinθ3cosθ2cosθ2cosθ3-cosθ3sinθ2cosθ2cosθ3+...+sinθncosθn-1cosθn-1cosθn-cosθnsinθn-1cosθn-1cosθn=1sindtanθ2-tanθ1+tanθ3-tanθ2+...+tanθn-tanθn-1=1sind-tanθ1+tanθn=tanθn-tanθ1sind=RHS
