The correct answer is: nn+2

It is given that,

k=1ntan-11k2+k+1=tan-1θ

Simplifying the above expression we get,

k=1ntan-1(k+1)-k1+k(k+1)=tan-1θ

k=1ntan-1(k+1)-tan-1k=tan-1θ

tan-12-tan-11+tan-13-tan-12+tan-14-tan-13++tan-1(n+1)-tan-1n=tan-1θ

tan-1(n+1)-tan-11=tan-1θ

tan-1n+1-11+n+1=tan-1θ

n2+n=θ
