Solution

The correct option is D
$t a n a_{n} - t a n a_{1}$

We have,

$s i n d [s e c a_{1} s e c a_{2} + s e c a_{2} s e c a_{3} + \dots \dots + s e c a_{n} - 1 s e c a_{n}]$

$= \frac{s i n d}{c o s a_{1} c o s a_{2}} + \frac{s i n d}{c o s a_{2} c o s a_{3}} + \dots \dots + \frac{s i n d}{c o s a_{n - 1} c o s a_{n}}$

$= \frac{s i n (a_{2} - a_{1})}{c o s a_{1} c o s a_{2}} + \frac{s i n (a_{3} - a_{2})}{c o s a_{2} c o s a_{3}} + \dots \dots + \frac{s i n (a_{n} - a_{n - 1})}{c o s a_{n - 1} c o s a_{n}}$

$= \frac{s i n a_{2} c o s a_{1} - c o s a_{2} s i n a_{1}}{c o s a_{1} c o s a_{2}} + \dots \dots + \frac{s i n a_{3} c o s a_{2} - c o s a_{3} s i n a_{2}}{c o s a_{1} c o s a_{2}} \frac{s i n a_{2} c o s a_{1} - c o s a_{2} s i n a_{1}}{c o s a_{1} c o s a_{2}}$

$= (t a n a_{1} - t a n a_{2}) + (t a n a_{2} - t a n a_{3}) + \dots \dots + (t a n a_{n - 1} - t a n a_{n})$

$= t a n a_{1} - t a n a_{n}$
