For $0<\theta<\dfrac{\pi}{2}$, the solution(s) of
$\displaystyle \sum_{m=1}^{6} \csc\left(\theta+\dfrac{(m-1)\pi}{4}\right),
\cos\left(\theta+\dfrac{m\pi}{4}\right)=4\sqrt{2}$
is/are
(A) $\dfrac{\pi}{4}$
(B) $\dfrac{\pi}{6}$
(C) $\dfrac{\pi}{12}$
(D) $\dfrac{5\pi}{12}$Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Given
$\displaystyle \sum_{m=1}^{6} \csc!\left(\theta+\dfrac{(m-1)\pi}{4}\right),
\csc!\left(\theta+\dfrac{m\pi}{4}\right)=4\sqrt{2}$
Use the identity
$\csc x \csc y=\dfrac{\cot x-\cot y}{\sin(y-x)}$
Here,
$y-x=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ and $\sin\dfrac{\pi}{4}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
So each term becomes
$\sqrt{2},[\cot(\theta+\dfrac{(m-1)\pi}{4})-\cot(\theta+\dfrac{m\pi}{4})]$
Hence the sum is telescopic:
$\sqrt{2},[\cot\theta-\cot(\theta+\dfrac{6\pi}{4})]=4\sqrt{2}$
$\Rightarrow \cot\theta-\cot(\theta+\dfrac{3\pi}{2})=4$
Using
$\cot(\theta+\dfrac{3\pi}{2})=\tan\theta$
$\Rightarrow \cot\theta-\tan\theta=4$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos2\theta}{\sin\theta\cos\theta}=4$
$\Rightarrow \cot2\theta=2$
$\Rightarrow 2\theta=\tan^{-1}!\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\pi}{12},\ \dfrac{5\pi}{12}$
