Que.1  Find the sum of series :
1.    1+3/2+5/4+7/8+..........2n-1/2n+......to
2.    1 + 1/(1+2) + 1/(1+2+3) + 1/(1+2+3+4) + ..........n terms
 
 
Que.2    cos + cos/sin2 + cos/sin4 + cos/sin6 exists for what range of  ?

2)
 
1 + 1/(1+2) + 1/(1+2+3) +
 
tn=2/(n(n+1))
 
splitting the term
 
2 [    (n+1) - n]  /  [n(n+1)]
=
2[ 1/n - 1/(n+1)]
 
now put 1, 2 ,3 .............n
 
and add
 
terms would cancel out
giving out
 
2[n-1] / n
 
i am working on the other two
i will post the answers tommorow

ignore this part of the above code
 
 
now put 1, 2 ,3 .............n+1
 
and add
 
terms would cancel out
giving out
 
2n /( n+1)

Q1.
 
Let x=1/2
Sum of n-terms is represented by Sn
Sn= 1+3x+5x2+7x3+....................+(2n-1)xn-1
xSn=    x+3x2+5x3+......................+(2n-3)xn-1 + (2n-1)xn
Subtract xSn from Sn we get:
(1-x)Sn=1+2x+2x2+2x3+................+2xn-1 - (2n-1)xn
          =1+ 2x/(1-x)               [Since n tends to infinity, xn tends to zero as x<1]
 
Sn=(1+x)/(1-x)2= 6   [Since x=1/2]           Ans
 
Q2. Solve as mentioned by Ankur

Observe the expression does not exists for sin2=0
i.e. sin=0
 
i.e.  =n where n=0,1,2,3  .... all integers
 
Hence range of  is all possible angles, exept integeral multiple of

1) Its an Arithmatico-geometric series and we have a standard result for it
for S= ab + (a+d)br+(a+2d)br2............+anbrn-1
S=  ab    + dbr(1-rn-1)     -  anbrn
     -------    -----------------     ---------
      1-r        (1-r)2                  1-r

For ur Q, put
n=infinity
a=1
r=1/2
b=1
d=2

Hey all !
There is something missing in Que 2 . The corrected question is -
  The sum of series ,cos + cos/sin2 + cos/sin4 + cos/sin6 + ......... exists for what range of  ?
The choices are -
1.  0<<
2. =
3. /2<<
4. none
 
I am sorry for the error !!!!!

Given summation is geometric.
cosQ[1/{1-(1/((sinQ)^2))}]= -tanQsinQ
Now both tanQ and sinQ should exist.So Q is not equal to pi/2.
So ans is 3).

Sorry the ans is 4).That is sum to infinity.
Apply S=a/(1-r)
Here r=1/(sinQ)^2
Now you get S= -tanQsinQ
Both tanQ and sinQ should exist.So Q is not equal to pi/2.
Did you type option 3) correctly???????

See ,
I am getting sum = -tanQsinQ
so , for sum to exist , sin and tan , both should exist simultaneously , which is not possible . Hence , there is no value of Q .
Am I right ?????

Oh !
I am sorry !
option 3 is pi/2 < Q < pi .
I dont know what has happened to my typing ?????
