The correct answer is: tan-12n

Given expression  = tan -1  2 + tan -1  2 9 + tan -1  2 2 5 + tan -1  2 4 9 + ........

General term=22n-12=24n2-4n+1=21+4nn-1=2n-2n-21+2n2n-2

Tn=tan-12n-tan-12n-2

   Sum of the series =tan-12-tan-10+tan-14-tan-12+tan-16-tan-14+tan-12n-tan-12n-2

=tan-12n-tan-10=tan-12n
