Solution

The correct option is A 1
There are (2n1) factors;

Of these let us group a pair of products, selecting the corresponding parts from either end; thus one middle will be left out without any pair for the same.

So the arrangement for them is:

P=[cot(2naa)cot(a)][cot(2na2a)cot(2a)][cot(2na3a)cot(3a)].....cot(na)]..........(3)

When 4na=π,na=π/4;
So
cot(na)=cot(π/4)=cot(2naa)=cot(π/2a)=tan(a)
So
cot(2naa)cot(a)=tan(a)cot(a)=1

Similarly
cot(2na2a)cot(2a)=cot(π/22a)cot(2a)=tan(2a)cot(2a)=1

Similarly every pair will simplifies to 1

Substituting all these in eq(3). above, P=1×1×1×1×1×....................1×1=1

Thus the answer is 1.
