Question 13 of 75 in this shift, Maths question 13 of 25, Section A.

The sum of the infinite series cot⁡−1(74)+cot⁡−1(194)+cot⁡−1(394)+cot⁡−1(674)+…\cot^{-1}\left(\frac{7}{4}\right)+\cot^{-1}\left(\frac{19}{4}\right)+\cot^{-1}\left(\frac{39}{4}\right)+\cot^{-1}\left(\frac{67}{4}\right)+\ldots is :
  1. (1)π2−cot⁡−1(12)\frac{\pi}{2}-\cot^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)
  2. (2)π2+tan⁡−1(12)\frac{\pi}{2}+\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)
  3. (3)π2−tan⁡−1(12)\frac{\pi}{2}-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)Official answer
