    The sum of the infinite series \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)+{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{6}} \right)+{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{12}} \right)+...\]\[+...+{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{n}-\sqrt{(n-1)}}{\sqrt{\{n(n+1)\}}} \right)+...\] is

    A) \[\frac{\pi }{8}\]

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    D) \[\pi \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\because {{T}_{r}}={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{r}-\sqrt{(r-1)}}{\sqrt{r(r+1)}} \right)\] \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{r}-\sqrt{(r-1)}}{1+\sqrt{r}\sqrt{(r-1)}} \right)\] \[{{S}_{n}}=\sum\limits_{r=1}^{n}{{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{r}-\sqrt{(r-1)}}{1+\sqrt{r}\sqrt{(r-1)}} \right)}\] \[=\sum\limits_{r=1}^{n}{\{ta{{n}^{-1}}\sqrt{r}-ta{{n}^{-1}}\sqrt{(r-1)}\}}\] \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{n}-{{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{0}={{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{n}-0\] \[\therefore {{S}_{\infty }}={{\tan }^{-1}}\infty =\frac{\pi }{2}\]
