Q60 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (06 Aug Shift 1) · Mathematics

The period of $\tan k y+\sin k y$, where $k=1+4+9+\ldots 20$ terms, is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\frac{\pi}{1435}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \pi}{1435}$
  • C
    $\pi$
  • D
    $2 \pi$

Solution

$k=1+4+9+\ldots$ upto 20 terms $$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore k=\sum n^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2 n+1)}{6}, \text { where } n=20 \\ & \therefore k=\frac{20 \times 21 \times 41}{6}=70 \times 41=2870 \end{aligned} $$ $\therefore$ Period of tan $k y$ is $\frac{2 \pi}{2870}$ and period of $\sin k y$ is $\frac{2 \pi}{2870}$ i.e. $\frac{\pi}{1435}$ $$ \therefore \text { Required period }=\frac{\pi}{1435} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
