Solution

The correct option is A tan112
We have,
cot1(22+12)+cot1(23+122)+cot1(24+123)+......
Tn=cot1(2n+1+12n)
=cot1(2n+12n+12n)
=tan1(2n(21)1+2n+12n)
=tan1(2n+12n1+2n+12n)
Using the formula:
{tan1xy1+xy=tan1xtan1y}
=tan12n+1tan12n
Putting n=1,2,3,.....,n and adding, we get
Sn=tan12n+1tan12
S=tan1tan12
=π2tan12
=cot12=tan112
